Regulatory notes and statements
Wireless LAN, Health and Authorization for use
Radio frequency electromagnetic energy is emitted from Wireless LAN
devices. The energy levels of these emissions however are far much less than
the electromagnetic energy emissions from wireless devices like for example
mobile phones. Wireless LAN devices are safe for use frequency safety
standards and recommendations. The use of Wireless LAN devices may be
restricted in some situations or environments for example:
·On board of airplanes, or
·In an explosive environment, or
·In case the interference risk to other devices or services is perceived or
identified as harmful

INTRODUCTION
With the explosive growth of the Internet, accessing information and
services at any time, day or night has become a standard requirement for
most people. The era of the standalone PC is waning. Networking
technology is moving out of the exclusive domain of corporations and
into homes with at least two computers.
This integrated access device combines Internet gateway functions with
wireless LAN and Fast Ethernet switch. Designed for the business and
home, it saves you the cost of installing a separate modem and ISP line
for each computer, while providing ready connection for the users, with or
without the network wires.
Broadband network access is also gaining ground. However, allowing
more than two computers to access the Internet at the same time means
less affordable, higher costs. Thus, there is a need to share one legal IP
address over a single Internet connection to link the home with the
Internet.
The scarcity of IP addresses and using a shared Internet connection
through an Internet sharing device can solve high network access costs.
All linked computers can make full use of broadband capabilities over
such a device.
This device not only comes equipped with a wide range of features, but
also can be installed and configured right out of the box. This device
supports a simple local area network and Internet access share, offering
great cost savings.
The local area network connects up home computers while also allowing
any of the computers to access the Internet, share resources, or play online
games—the basis of the family computing lifestyle.

UNPACKING AND SETUP
This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Wireless
Broadband Router.
Unpacking
Open the box of the Wireless Broadband Router and carefully unpack it.
The box should contain the following items:
One Wireless Internet Broadband Router
One external power adapter
One CD-Rom with this User’s Guide
If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller
for replacement.
Setup
The setup of the Wireless Broadband Router can be performed properly
using the following methods:
The power outlet should be within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the
Broadband Router.
Visually inspect the DC power jack and make sure that it is fully
secured to the power adapter.
Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation from and adequate
ventilation around the Broadband Router. Do not place heavy
objects on the Broadband Router.
Fix the direction of the antennas. Try to place the Wireless
Router in a position that can best cover your wireless network.
Normally, the higher you place the antenna, the better the
performance will be. The antenna’s position enhances the
receiving sensitivity.
