Some features described in this manual may not be supported by your service provider or may not be available with your network account. For details of the services and accounts available, contact your service provider.
Plug-and-Play
Your router was factory-set for compatibility with a particular service provider. Thus, your router operates on radio channels and enables services specific to your network service provider. Once your router has been activated on your service provider’s network, you can connect to the Internet. After your router is activated, connect it to your computer using the Ethernet (RJ-45) cable or via WiFi. You are now ready to use the Internet.
Web-Based Advanced User Interface
You can easily setup the router’s advanced functions through your web browser and without having to install additional software onto your computer. There are no drivers to install and, you can easily make changes and perform setup functions from any computer which is connected to your R90
NAT IP Address Sharing
Support for VPN Pass Through
Built in Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
Integrated 802.11b/g/n Wireless Access Point
MAC Address Filtering
Integrated 10/100 4-Port Switch
The R90 has a built-in, 4-port network switch to allow your wired computers to share printers, data and MP3 files, digital photos, and much more. The switch features automatic detection so it will adjust to the speed of connected devices. The switch will transfer data between computers and the Internet simultaneously without interrupting or consuming resources.
Integrated 802.11 b/g/n Wireless Access Point
The R90 supports Wi-Fi modes b/g and n. Your router as default is set to Wi-Fi mode g. To use mode n you can change this by logging into the web interface (instructions are in section 3.10). Although, please ensure that your Wi-Fi card supports n mode.

2.1 Placement of your R90
Place your R90, the central connection point of your network, as close as possible to windows or in rooms at the outer side of your house. If you also use the Wi-Fi feature of the R90, it should be placed near the center of your wireless network devices. To achieve the best wireless network coverage: Ensure that your R90’s networking antennas are parallel to each other, and are positioned vertically
(toward the ceiling). If your R90 itself is positioned vertically, point the antennas as much as possible in an upward direction. In multistory homes, place the R90 on an upper floor.
Avoid placing your R90 near devices that may emit radio “noise,” such as microwave ovens. Dense
objects can interfere with wireless communication
If your wireless signal seems weak in some areas, try to move the R90 to another location while
observing the signal strength indicator
