Positioning your wireless router

For the best wireless signal transmission between the wireless router and the
network devices connected to it, ensure that you:

• Place the wireless router in a centralized area for a maximum wireless coverage
for the network devices.

• Keep the device away from metal obstructions and away from direct sunlight.

• Keep the device away from 802.11g or 20MHz only Wi-Fi devices, 2.4GHz
computer peripherals, Bluetooth devices, cordless phones, transformers,
heavy-duty motors, uorescent lights, microwave ovens, refrigerators, and other
industrial equipment to prevent signal interference or loss.

• To ensure the best wireless signal, orient the three detachable antennas as
shown in the drawing below.

• For optimum performance, adjust the internal cooling system. Refer to the user
manual for details.

• Always update to the latest rmware. Visit the ASUS website at

http://www.asus.com to get the latest rmware updates.

Positionner le routeur sans l

Pour optimiser la transmission du signal sans l entre votre routeur et les
périphériques réseau y étant connecté, veuillez vous assurer des points suivants :

• Placez le routeur sans l dans un emplacement central pour obtenir une
couverture sans l optimale.

• Maintenez le routeur à distance des obstructions métalliques et des rayons du
soleil.

• Maintenez le routeur à distance d’appareils ne fonctionnant qu’avec les
standards/fréquences Wi-Fi 802.11g ou 20MHz, les périphériques 2.4GHz et
Bluetooth, les téléphones sans l, les transformateurs électriques, les moteurs
à service intense, les lumières uorescentes, les micro-ondes, les réfrigérateurs
et autres équipements industriels pour éviter les interférences ou les pertes de
signal sans l.

• Orientez les trois antennes amovibles comme illustré ci-dessous pour améliorer
le qualité de couverture du signal sans l.

• Pour obtenir des performances optimales, ajustez le système de refroidissement
interne. Consultez le manuel d’utilisation pour plus de détails.

• Mettez toujours le routeur à jour dans la version de rmware la plus récente.
Visitez le site Web d’ASUS sur http://www.asus.com pour consultez la liste des
mises à jour.
