When a number of wireless stations are connected using a single access point, you have a Basic Service Set (BSS). In the ESS diagram below, communication is done through the access points, which relay data packets to other wireless stations or devices connected to the wired network. Wireless stations can then access resources, such as a printer, on the wired network.

Introduction The TEW-815DAP 802.11ac (draft 2.0)3x3 Gigabit Wireless Access Point is an high-performance, wireless Access Point that supports high-speed wireless networking at home, at work or in public places. Unlike most Access Points, the TEW-815DAP provides data transfers at up to 867Mbps when using 11AC connection. This Access Point is also back compatible with 802.11n or 802.11g or 11b devices. This means that you do not need to change your entire network to maintain connectivity.
Hardware Overview LED Indications: (from bottom to top) ¾ PWR/WPS ¾ WAN ¾ LAN ¾ Wireless 2.4G ¾ Wireless 5G Rear panel: (from bottom to top) • DC-IN • POWER SWITCH( EU) • LAN Installation Considerations The TEW-815DAP 802.11ac(draft 2.0)3X3 Gigabit Wireless Access Point lets you access your network, using a wireless connection, from virtually anywhere within its operating range.
Getting Started For a typical wireless setup at home, please do the following: 1. You will need broadband Internet access (a Cable or DSL-subscriber line into your home or office) 2. Consult with your Cable or DSL provider for proper installation of the modem. 3. Connect the Cable or DSL modem to the TEW-815DAP Access Point (WAN port). 4. Ethernet LAN ports of the TEW-815DAP are Auto MDI/MDIX and will work with both Straight-Through and Cross-Over cable. Start 1. 2.

The device status.
You may configure administrator account and password. Admin Password Enter a password for the user "admin", who will have full access to the Web-based management interface. Device Name The name of the Access Point can be changed here. Enable Dynamic DNS Enable this option only if you have purchased your own domain name and registered with a dynamic DNS service provider. The following parameters are displayed when the option is enabled.
Upload Firmware: Once you have a firmware update on your computer, use this option to browse for the file and then upload the information into the Access Point.
Setting Management: Export Settings This option allows you to export and then save the Access Point's configuration to a file on your computer. Be sure to save the configuration before performing a firmware upgrade. Import Settings Use this option to restore previously saved Access Point configuration settings. Load Factory Defaults This option restores all configuration settings back to the settings that were in effect at the time the Access Point was shipped from the factory.
This restarts the Access Point. It is useful for restarting when you are not near the device.

Setup LAN Setting: This page allows you to configure the LAN of the Access Point IP Address The IP address of the this device on the local area network. Assign any unused IP address in the range of IP addresses available for the LAN. Subnet Mask The subnet mask of the local area network. Subnet Mask The subnet mask of the local area network. Gateway The IP address of the Access Point on the local area network. For example, 192.168.10.1. IP Address: The LAN address that you want to reserve.
MAC Address To input the MAC address of your system, enter it in manually or connect to the Access Point's Web-Management interface from the system and click the Copy Your PC's MAC Address button. A MAC address is usually located on a sticker on the bottom of a network device. The MAC address is comprised of twelve digits. Each pair of hexadecimal digits are usually separated by dashes or colons such as 00-0D-88-11-22-33 or 00:0D:88:11:22:33.
LAN IPv6 Setting 6to4 6to4 is provided as a transition for migrating from IPv4 to IPv6. It allows IPv6 packets to be transmitted over an IPv4 network through the automatic tunneling technology, and routes traffic between 6to4 and IPv6 networks. Native IPv6 only Native IPv6 refers to the network where IPv6 is the only transport protocol running. 6to4 + Native IPv6 Support 6to4 and Native IPv6 simultaneously. DNS server User need to key in the IPv6 DNS server address which is provided by ISP.
Wireless Multiple SSID: You could configure the minimum number of Wireless settings for communication, such as Network Name (SSID) and Security Mode. The Access Point can be set simply with only the minimum setting items. Wireless Network Name (SSID) When you are browsing for available wireless networks, this is the name that will appear in the list (unless Visibility Status is set to Invisible, see below). This name is also referred to as the SSID.
network name. Add up to three additional SSIDs to create virtual wireless networks from one wireless Access Point Access Point device. Add Additional Wireless Network Name (SSID) To add additional wireless Network Names simply add the name to the Multiple SSID field and click on apply at the bottom of the page. When finished, go to the Security section in this Users Guide for wireless security configuration.
WDS: This page allows you to configure Wireless Distribution System (WDS) for the wireless LAN interfaces. Wireless Distribution System (WDS) When WDS is enabled, this access point functions as a wireless repeater and is able to wirelessly communicate with other APs via WDS links. A WDS link is bidirectional; so this AP must know the MAC Address (creates the WDS link) of the other AP, and the other AP must have a WDS link back to this AP. Make sure the APs are configured with same channel.
(Note that WDS security is incompatible with mixed mode, like WPAPSK+WPA2PSK mixed, WEP AUTO and 802.1x, both feature cannot be used at the same time). Configuring WDS with TEW-815DAP Enable the option for WDS and input the MAC Address of the wireless device that also supports WDS in to the blank fields. You can add up to four additional devices in the spaces provided. Click on apply at the bottom of the page, to apply your setting changes.
Advanced: Use the Advanced Setup page to make detailed settings for the Wireless. Advanced Setup includes items that are not available from the Basic Setup page, such as Beacon Interval, etc Beacon Interval Beacons are packets sent by a wireless Access Point to synchronize wireless devices. Specify a Beacon Period value between 20 and 1000. The default value is set to 100 milliseconds. DTIM A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.
Fragmentation Threshold Wireless frames can be divided into smaller units (fragments) to improve performance in the presence of RF interference and at the limits of RF coverage. Fragmentation will occur when frame size in bytes is greater than the Fragmentation Threshold. This setting should remain at its default value of 2346 bytes. Setting the Fragmentation value too low may result in poor performance.
WPS: Enable Enable the WPS feature. PIN Settings A PIN is a unique number that can be used to add the Access Point to an existing network or to create a new network. The default PIN may be printed on the bottom of the Access Point. For extra security, a new PIN can be generated. You can restore the default PIN at any time. Only the Administrator ("admin" account) can change or reset the PIN. Current PIN Shows the current value of the Access Point's PIN.
Generate New PIN Create a random number that is a valid PIN. This becomes the Access Point's PIN. You can then copy this PIN to the user interface of the registrar.
