Application Diagram Creating a Network
What is a network?
A network is a group of computers or devices that can communicate with each other. A
home network of more than one computer or device also typically includes Internet
access, which requires a router.
A typical home network may include multiple computers, a media player/server, a

printer, a modem, and a router. A large home network may also have a switch,
additional routers, access points, and many Internet-capable media devices such as TVs,
game consoles, and Internet cameras.
 Modem – Connects a computer or router to the Internet or ISP (Internet Service
Provider).
 Router – Connects multiple devices to the Internet.
 Switch –Connect several wired network devices to your home network. Your
router has a built-in network switch (the LAN port 1-4). If you have more wired
network devices than available Ethernet ports on your router, you will need an
additional switch to add more wired connections.
How to set up a home network

The access point is mounted a pole which is connected to the provided PoE adapter and

connection between both networks.
 A modem and Internet service to your home, provided by your ISP (modem
typically supplied by your ISP).
 A router to connect multiple devices to the Internet.
2. Make sure that your modem is working properly. Your modem is often provided by
your Internet Service Provider (ISP) when you sign up for Internet service. If your
modem is not working contact your ISP to verify functionality.
3. Set up your router. See “How to setup your router” below.
4. To connect additional wired computers or wired network devices to your network,
see “Connect additional wired devices to your network” on page 11.
5. To set up wireless networking on your router, see “Wireless Networking and Security”
on page 12.

Wireless Performance Considerations Getting Started

There are a number of factors that can impact the range of wireless devices. For a typical wireless setup at home or office when using the access point in AP mode,
please do the following:
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 Hardware Installation
you will lose.
2. Keep the number of obstructions to a minimum. Each obstruction can reduce the 1. Remove the bottom cap.
range of a wireless device. Position the wireless devices in a manner that will
minimize the amount of obstructions between them.
3. Building materials can have a large impact on your wireless signal. In an indoor
environment, try to position the wireless devices so that the signal passes through
less dense material such as dry wall. Dense materials like metal, solid wood, glass
or even furniture may block or degrade the signal.
4. Antenna orientation can also have a large impact on your wireless signal. Use the
wireless adapter’s site survey tool to determine the best antenna orientation for
your wireless devices.
5. Interference from devices that produce RF (radio frequency) noise can also impact 2. Plug a Network cable to the Ethernet port.
your signal. Position your wireless devices away from anything that generates RF
noise, such as microwaves, radios and baby monitors.
6. Any device operating on the 2.4GHz frequency will cause interference. Devices such
as 2.4GHz cordless phones or other wireless remotes operating on the 2.4GHz
frequency can potentially drop the wireless signal. Although the phone may not be
in use, the base can still transmit wireless signal. Move the phone’s base station as
far away as possible from your wireless devices.
If you are still experiencing low or no signal consider repositioning the wireless devices
or installing additional access points. The use of higher gain antennas may also provide
the necessary coverage depending on the environment. 3. Slide the bottom cover back to the unit.

4. Plug an Ethernet cable to the access point and plug the other end of the cable to the
side of the PoE adapter marked PoE.
5. Take another Ethernet cable and plug it on the side of the PoE adapter marked LAN,
plug the other end of the cable to your network.
9. Click the System button on the left side and then System Settings.
6. Verify that the following LED indicators on the access point: Power (Solid Green), LAN
(Solid/Blinking Green) and WLAN (Blinking Green).
10. Select Fat AP in the Mode drop down menu and select the proper Country/Region.
7. Open your web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, or Opera) and
go to http://192.168.10.100. The access point will prompt you for a password.

Steps to improve wireless connectivity
There are a number of factors that can impact the range of wireless devices. Follow
these tips to help improve your wireless connectivity:
1. Keep the number of obstructions to a minimum. Each obstruction can reduce the
range of a wireless device. Position the wireless devices in a manner that will
minimize the amount of obstructions between them.
a. For the widest coverage area, install your router near the center of your home, and
near the ceiling, if possible.
b. Avoid placing the router on or near metal objects (such as file cabinets and metal
furniture), reflective surfaces (such as glass or mirrors), and masonry walls.
c. Any obstruction can weaken the wireless signal (even non-metallic objects), so the

e. Many environmental variables can affect the router’s performance, so if your
wireless signal is weak, place the router in several locations and test the signal
strength to determine the ideal position.

environment, try to position the wireless devices so that the signal passes through

Wireless Networking and Security
How to choose the type of security for your wireless network
Setting up wireless security is very important. Leaving your wireless network open and
unsecure could expose your entire network and personal files to outsiders. TRENDnet
recommends reading through this entire section and setting up wireless security on your
new router.

There are a few different wireless security types supported in wireless networking each
having its own characteristics which may be more suitable for your wireless network
