Introduction
This section provides all information on how to use the wireless features of your TG389ac.
Wireless access point
Your TG389ac has two wireless access points:
The
5 GHz IEEE 802.11ac access point
offers superior transfer rates, is less sensitive to interference and allows you to
connect IEEE802.11ac and IEEE802.11n wireless clients that can operate in the 5 GHz band.
The
2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11n access point
allows you to connect IEEE802.11n wireless clients (and IEEE802.11b/g wireless
clients). Use this access point for wireless clients that don’t support 5 GHz.
Configuring your wireless clients
For more information on how to make a wireless connection to your TG389ac, see:
“3.1 Connecting your wireless client via WPS” on page 23
“3.2 How to manually connect a wireless client” on page 26
“3.2 How to manually connect a wireless client” on page 26
Secure your wireless connection!
By default, the wireless access points of your TG389ac are not secured. This means that everyone who is within
the range of your TG389ac can access your network, with the possible consequences that:
Your personal data on devices in your local network can be exposed and compromised.
People may use your connection to access the Internet.
Hackers may use your connection to commit crimes.
You can easily prevent this by securing your wireless access points. For more information, see
