• 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, fluorescent lights, microwave ovens, refrigerators, and other industrial equipment to prevent signal interference or loss.
• For the best front-to-rear wireless coverage, place the wireless router in an upright position.
• For the best upward and downward wireless coverage, place the wireless router in an inclined position.
• Always update to the latest firmware. Visit the ASUS website at http://support.asus.com to get the latest firmware updates.
