This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation.

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there
is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
* Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
* Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
* Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
* Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

2 Installation

2.1 Hardware Installation

Step 1: Place the WLAN 11n Mini Router to the best optimum transmission location.

The best transmission location for your WLAN 11n Mini Router is usually at the
geographic center of your wireless network, with line of sign to all of your
mobile stations.

Step 2: Connect the WLAN 11n Mini Router to your wired network. Connect the

Ethernet WAN interface of WLAN 11n Mini Router by category 5 Ethernet
cable to your switch/ hub/ xDSL modem or cable modem. A straight-through
Ethernet cable with appropriate cable length is needed.

Step 3: Supply DC power to the WLAN 11n Mini Router. Use only the AC/DC power

adapter supplied with the WLAN 11n Mini Router; it maybe occur damage by
using a different type of power adapter.

The hardware installation finished.

2.2 Software Installation

 There are no software drivers, patches or utilities installation needed, but only the

configuration setting. Please refer to chapter 3 for software configuration.

Notice: It will take about 50 seconds to complete the boot up sequence after

powered on the WLAN 11n Mini Router; Power LED will be active, and
after that the WLAN Activity LED will be flashing to show the WLAN
interface is enabled and working now.
