WIRELESS PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS There are a number of factors that can impact the range of wireless devices. 1. Adjust your wireless devices so that the signal is traveling in a straight path, rather than at an angle. The more material the signal has to pass through the more signal you will lose.
Using the Configuration Menu Whenever you want to configure your TEW-691GR, you can access the Configuration Menu th rough your PC by opening the Web-browser and typing in th e IP Address of the TEW-691GR. The TEW-691GR’s default IP Address is http://192.
Network WAN SETTING WAN Connection Type There are several connection types to choose fr om: Static IP, DHCP, PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP, and Russia PPTP. If you are unsure of your connection method, please contact your Internet Service Provider. Static Used when your ISP provides you a set IP address that does not change.
Maximum Idle Time: Time interval the machine can be idle before the PPPoE connection is disconnected. The Maximum Idle Time value is only used for the "On demand" and "Manual" reconnect modes. L2TP L2TP (Layer Two Tunneling Protocol) uses a virtual private network to connect to your ISP.
The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is a parameter that determines the largest packet size (in bytes) that the router will send to the WAN. If LAN devices send larger packets, the router will br eak them into smaller packets. Ideally, you should set this to match the MTU of the connection to your ISP.
LAN SETTING IP Address The IP address of the this device on the local area network. Assign any unused IP ad dress in the range of IP addresses available for the LAN. Subnet Mask The subnet mask of the local area network. DHCP Server Settings DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protoc ol.
Once your router is properly configured and this option is enabled, the D HCP Server will manage the IP addresses and other network configuration information for computers and other d evices connected to your Local Area Network. There is no need for you to do this yourself.

Wireless BASIC Radio On/Off This indicates the wireless operating status. The wireless can be turne d on or off by the slide switch. When the radio is on, the following parameters are in effect.
operates in the 2.4GHz frequency, it will allow the use of other 2.4GHz client devices (Wireless n/ g @ 54Mbps) to connect and access at the same time. 2.4GHz 802.11 n only – This wireless mode works in the 2.4GHz frequency range and will only allow the use of wireless n client devices to connect a nd access the TEW-691GR up to 450Mbps*.
20/40 20 Channel Width = 20 MHz 20/40 Channel Width = 20/40 MHz Guard Interval: Support Short/Long GI, the purpose of the guard inte rval is to introduce immunity to propagation delays, echoes and reflections, to which di gital data is normally very sensitive.
When an excessive number of wireless packet collisions are occurring, wireless perfor mance can be improved by using the RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) handshake protocol. The wireless transmitter will begin to send RTS frames (and wait for CTS) when data frame size in bytes is greater than the RTS Threshold.
requires a longer key than 64-bit encryption. Keys are defined by entering in a string in HEX (hexadecimal - using characters 0-9, A-F) or ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange - alphanumeric characters) format. ASCII form at is provided so you can enter a string that is easier to remember.
MAC Address Enter the MAC address of a computer that you want to control with MAC filtering. Computers that have obtained an IP address from the router's DHCP server will be in the DHCP Client List.
Enable Enable the WPS feature. Lock Wireless Security Settings Locking the wireless security setting s prevents t he settings from being changed by any new external registrar using its PIN. Devices can still be added to the wireless netwo rk using WPS.
Advanced DMZ DMZ Setting DMZ means "Demilitarized Zone." If an application has trouble working from behind the router, you can expose one computer to the Internet and run the application on that computer.
‧ To handle incoming connections that use a protocol other than ICMP, TCP, UDP, and IGMP (also GRE and ESP, when these protocols are enabled by the PPTP and IPSec Enable DMZ Putting a computer in the DMZ may expose that computer to a variety of security risks.
