Router Positioning
The F5260 router provides network access from anywhere within range of your wireless (WiFi) network. However, WiFi signal strength diminishes over distance and as it passes through the construction material of your home (e.g. walls, metal and water).
For best results, follow the guidelines below.
Improve range by positioning your router at a central location and minimizing the number of walls or ceilings between your router and network devices.
Ensure optimum reception by positioning your device so that the signal moves straight through drywall or open doorways instead of at an angle.
Maintain wireless signal strength by positioning your router away from glass, metal, water, mirrors, brick and concrete.
Avoid signal interference by keeping your router away from electrical devices (e.g. microwaves, baby monitors and wireless headsets).
Keep your router and its cables accessible by placing it in an open area near a power outlet.
Wall Mounting (optional)
The F5260 router can be optionally mounted on the wall. Before you mount the unit on the wall, write down the required information from the label.
1.The unit is mounted with the top of the unit facing up. Ensure that the wall you use is smooth, flat, dry, and sturdy.
2.The unit is mounted using two M3x20 or equivalent compact head screws (20mm length and 3mm in diameter).
3.Install the two screws 5 1/4 inches (135 mm) apart approximately 3/4 inches (20 mm) below the desired top of the unit per the following figure.
4.Adjust the screws in the wall leaving their heads extending approximately 1/8 inch to 3/16 inch (3.5 mm - 4 mm) from the wall surface.
5.Carefully align the screw heads in the keyholes on the back of the unit and gently push it onto the wall moving it downward to secure it in the narrow portion of the keyhole slots.
