1. To protect your network from any unauthorized access it is recommended to enable  
wireless encryption.  
2. The example below is for WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK (AES) security. If you select  
WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK, make sure your wireless adapters support WPA or WPA2.  
If your wireless adapters do not support WPA or WPA2, then select WEP.  
3. WEP encryption only supports 802.11b/g speed of up to 54Mbps.  
4. Once encryption is enabled on the router, each wireless computer and device must  
be configured with the same encryption key.  
14. Select the desired WPA mode, enter  
characters for your Pre-Shared key and then  
click Next. For WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK, the

Troubleshooting  
1. All the settings are correct, but I can not make a wireless connection to the  
Access Point.  
1. Double check that the wireless LED on the Access Point is lit.  
2. Power cycle the Access Point. Unplug the power to the Access Point. Wait 15  
seconds, then plug the power back in.  
3. Contact the manufacturer of your wireless network adapter. Make sure the  
wireless network adapter is configured with the proper SSID. The default SSID  
of the Access Point is TRENDnet637. If you have enabled any encryption on  
the Access Point, make sure to configure the wireless network adapter with the  
same Pre-shared key.  
2. I have a wireless adapter that supports WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) push  
button setup. How do I setup WPS between the TEW-637AP and my wireless  
adapter?  
1. Press on the WPS button on the front of the TEW-637AP for 10 seconds.  
2. Refer to your wireless adapters for instructions on setting up WPS.  
3. I inserted the Utility CD-ROM into my computer's CD-ROM Drive but the  
installation menu does not appear automatically. What should I do  
1. For Windows 7, if the installation menu does not appear automatically, click on  
the Windows Icon on the bottom left hand corner of the screen, click the  
“Search programs and files” box, and type D:\autorun.exe, where “D” in  
“D:\autorun.exe” is the letter assigned to your CD-ROM Drive, and then press  
the ENTER key on your keyboard  
2. For Windows Vista, if the installation menu does not appear automatically, click  
on the Windows Icon on the bottom left hand corner of the screen, click on the

letter assigned to your CD-ROM Drive, and then press the ENTER key on your  
keyboard.  
3. For Windows XP/2000 if the window does not appear automatically, click Start,  
click Run and type D:\autorun.exe where “D” in “D:\autorun.exe” is the letter  
assigned to your CD-ROM Drive, and then press the ENTER key on your  
keyboard.  
4. I do not have a DHCP server or DHCP is disabled on my network and I am  
unable to configure the TEW-637AP. What should I do?  
1. Go to the TCP/IP settings on your computer and assign a static IP address on  
your computer's network adapter in the subnet of 192.168.10.x. Since the  
default IP address of the TEW-637AP is 192.168.10.100, do not assign a static  
IP address of 192.168.10.100 on your computer's network adapter.  
2. Open Internet Explorer and enter http://192.168.10.100 into the address bar.

5. I followed the Quick Installation Guide and setup a new password. When I log  
in to the browser configuration an access error message appears. What should I  
do?  
If the password was changed and you don't remember it, you need to reset the  
TEW-637AP. To reset the TEW-637AP, power up the unit and wait 30 seconds for  
the unit to boot up. Then take a pin or paper clip and press the reset button for 15  
seconds, then let go. The reset button is located on the bottom of the TEW-637AP.  
Please note that performing a reset on the TEW-637AP will erase all settings  
applied and will revert back to default settings. The default user name is admin  
and the default password is admin. When you log in to the browser configuration  
for the first time, make sure to enter admin for user name. Do not leave the user  
name field blank

Wireless Tips  
The following are some general wireless tips to help minimize the impact of interference within an  
environment.  
Assign your network a unique SSID  
Do not use anything that would be identifying like “Smith Family Network”. Choose  
something that you would easily identify when searching for available wireless networks.  
Do not turn off the SSID broadcast  
The SSID broadcast is intended to be on and turning it off can cause connectivity issues.  
The preferred method of securing a wireless network is to choose a strong form of encryption  
with a strong and varied encryption key.  
Note: after setting up the SSID, encryption type and encryption key/passphrase, please  
make a note of them for future reference. You will need this information to connect your  
wireless computers to the wireless router/access point.  
Change the channel  
Most wireless access points and routers are defaulted to channel 6. If you have a site survey  
tool that will display the channels you can plan your channel selection around neighboring  
access points to minimize interference from them. If your site survey tool does not display  
the channel try using channels 1 or 11.  
If you are using 802.11n you should be securing the network with WPA2 security.  
Note: Due to Wi-Fi certification considerations if you choose WEP, WPA or WPA2-TKIP  
encryption this device may operate in legacy wireless mode (802.11b/g). You may not get  
802.11n performance as these forms of encryption are not supported by the 802.11n  
specification.  
Please also make sure that the wireless hardware is not placed in any type of shelving or  
enclosures.  
Avoid stacking hardware on top of each other to prevent overheating issues  
Maintain enough free space around the hardware for good ventilation and airflow. There  
should also be plenty of free space around the antennas to allow the wireless signal to  
propagate.  
There are a number of other environmental 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.  
2. 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.

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 your  
signal. Position your wireless devices away from anything that generates RF noise, such  
as microwaves, HAM radios, Walkie-Talkies 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 signals. 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.
