About This Manual
This manual is a complement of Quick Installation Guide. The Quick Installation Guide
instructs you on quick internet setup, and this guide provides details of each function and
shows you the way to configure these functions appropriate to your needs.
When using this manual, please notice that features of the router may vary slightly
depending on the model and software version you have, and on your location, language, and
internet service provider. All screenshots, images, parameters and descriptions documented
in this manual are used for demonstration only.
*Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11
specifications. Actual wireless data throughput and wireless coverage are not guaranteed
and will vary as a result of network conditions, client limitations, and environmental factors,
including building materials, obstacles, volume and density of traffic, and client location.
*Use of MU-MIMO and 1024-QAM requires clients to also support those functions.

Connect the Hardware
This chapter contains the following sections:
- Position Your Router
- Connect Your Router
8
2.1. Position Your Router
• The router should not be located in a place where it will be exposed to moisture or
excessive heat.
• Place the router in a location where it can be connected to multiple devices as well as to a
power source.
• Make sure the cables and power cords are safely placed out of the way so they do not
create a tripping hazard.
• The router can be placed on a shelf or desktop.
• Keep the router away from devices with strong electromagnetic interference, such as
Bluetooth devices, cordless phones and microwaves.
2.2. Connect Your Router
Before you start, please turn off your modem if any. Hold the antennas from the base and
make the antennas vertical to the horizontal plane.
If your internet connection is through an Ethernet cable directly from the wall instead of
through a DSL / Cable / Satellite modem, connect the Ethernet cable to the router’s WAN
port, and then follow step 3 to complete the hardware connection.
1. Connect the modem to your router’s WAN port with an Ethernet cable.
2. Power on the modem, and then wait about 2 minutes for it to restart.
3. Connect the power adapter to the router and turn on the router.
4. Verify that the LED is solid on before moving on.
5. Connect your computer to the router.
How to connect to the router:
• Method 1: Wired
Turn off the Wi-Fi on your computer and connect your computer to the router with an
Ethernet cable.
• Method 2: Wirelessly
1) Find the SSID (Network Name) printed on the label at the bottom of the router.
2) Click the network icon of your computer or go to Wi-Fi Settings of your smart device, and
then select the SSID to join the network.
9
• Method 3: Use the WPS button
Wireless devices that support WPS, including Android phones, tablets, and most USB
network adapters, can be connected to your router through this method.
Note:
-WPS is not supported by iOS devices.
-The WPS function cannot be configured if the wireless function of the router is disabled. Also, the
WPS function will be disabled if your wireless encryption is WEP. Please make sure the wireless
function is enabled and is configured with the appropriate encryption before configuring the WPS.
