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 w...

No. TRENDnet wireless PC cards have a built-in antenna, so they can not support an external antenna. ...

An 802.11b device provides a wireless connection at 11Mbps while an 802.11g device offers up to 54Mbps. All 802.11g devices are compatible with the 802.11b devices and vice versa....

You will need two access points such as the TEW-410APB+ and configure them as a bridge. The access points will be dedicated to provide a wireless link between two locations....

All TRENDnet wireless access points and wireless Internet routers are compatible with Mac computers. TRENDnet wireless adapters (PC Card, PCI, and USB) are not Mac compatible....

There are two options. You can install a PCI-based adapter such as the TEW-228PI or the TEW-423PI. You will need to install the adapter inside your computer. If your PC is equipped with Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports, then you can consider using the TEW-229UB or the TEW-424UB for external installa...

A wireless router is an all-in-one solution that shares Internet access with a wired/wireless network. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server and Network Address Translation (NAT) routing are the primary features found on wireless routers. DHCP server automatically assigns private IP addr...

Microwave ovens and many cordless phones operate in the 2.4 GHz spectrum, the same radio spectrum used by TRENDnet 802.11g and 802.11b wireless networks. That means they can cause interference — but in most instances this will just slow down the wireless network connection; it won't stop transmissio...

Range varies in a wireless network depending on the type of wireless radio you have (IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, or 802.11g), whether or not you use special antennas, and whether your network is in an open environment or in a building with lots of walls and furniture. The composition of your walls and fl...

Any TRENDnet Access Point can transform your PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube into a wireless device. The Access Point must be configured as a Client AP. Client AP allows a network ready device to communicate with a wireless Access Point or wireless Internet router on your network....

Yes. All TRENDnet IEEE 802.11g (54Mbps) devices work seamlessly with IEEE 802.11b (11Mbps) devices.

No. If an Access Point is configured as a Bridge, or Client AP, the AP can not be used as a wireless Access Point any longer. For instance, a laptop user will not be able to communicate wirelessly with the TEW-430APB that is configured as a wireless Bridge. A user must search for another Access Poin...

TRENDnet wireless Access Point such as the TEW-410APB Plus is designed to bridge connections between wired and wireless networks. Desktop and laptop computers equipped with wireless network adapters can communicate on a network without wires connected to a switch. An Access Point is a required netwo...

Ad-Hoc Mode is also referred to as a "peer to peer" wireless network. By enabling ad-hoc mode in the wireless client utility, wireless PC's can communicate directly with one another without having to go through an access point....

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is becoming the wireless security standard. It is a higher level of security than WEP that combines encryption and authentication to create an unbreakable level of protection.For small office and home users, the WPA preshared key (WPA-PSK) is the easiest set up and does ...

Yes, if you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones your wireless connection will degrade dramatically or drop completely. You can also hear static on the phone. Anything using the 2.4Ghz frequency will interfere with your wireless network....

The following is a list of wireless adapters that support Linus:TEW-201PC TEW-222CF TEW-203PI TEW-221PC TEW-223PI TEW-226PC TEW-228PI TEW-301PC TEW-303PI...

The following is a list of the antennas available for TRENDnet Wireless Products. Wireless Antennas Compatibility dBi Vertical Beamwidth Horizontal Beamwidth Type TEW-IA04O TEW-203PI, TEW-210APB, TEW-211BRP, TEW-223PI, TEW-228PI, TEW-231BRP, TEW-303PI, TEW-310APBX, TEW-403PI, TEW-410APB, TEW-410AP...

We recommend using Channels 1, 6, or 11 because they are non-overlapping channels within the 2.4 GHz frequency range. Non-overlapping channels reduce potential RF interference from cordless phones and other nearby wireless LANs. ...

Infrastructure Mode allows PC's to communicate with one another through the use of an access point. Each laptop or desktop wireless client communicates with the access point where the access point provides access to the corporate network or Internet. ...

Ad-Hoc Mode is also referred to as a "peer to peer" wireless network. By enabling ad-hoc mode in the wireless client utility wireless PC's can communicate directly with one another without having to go through an access point....

An SSID is a 32-character alphanumeric key that uniquely identifies a wireless LAN. It is often referred to as the "Network Name". It is used to keep unauthorized wireless equipment from accessing your LAN. To communicate, wireless devices on the same network must be configured with the same SSID. M...
