Installing your router

IMPORTANT: Before installing the router, ensure that Internet connection is available

1. Position your wireless router.

For the optimal wireless transmission between the wireless router and connected wireless devices, ensure that you:

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

Keep the wireless router away from metal obstructions and away from direct sunlight.

Keep the wireless router away from 802.11g or 20MHz only Wi-Fi devices, 2.4GHz computer peripherals, Bluetooth devices, cordless phones, transformers, heavy-duty motors, fluorescent 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.

Always update to the latest firmware. Visit the ASUS website at http://www.asus.com to get the latest firmware updates.
