* You can only using ESR350H Installation CD for Windows operation system.

**The Wi-Fi Card or Wi-Fi USB dongle is optional.

2.2. Setup Notes

When considering the placement of the ESR350H remember the following:

• The ESR350H must be close to the DSL or Cable Modem and a Power Source. Initially, it needs to be closed to the computer that is used to

set up the ESR350H.

• Placing the E

• The higher the placement of the ESR350H, the better wireless range it will have.

• Other electronic devices can cause interference, which will cause the wireless range of the ESR350H to diminish.

SR350H in the center of the office space will result in the most optimal wireless range.
