Note:

Choose a location that is within reach of an electrical outlet for the AC adapter and the DSL or Cable modem.

To mount the device on the wall do the following:

1. Measure the distance from the middle of each mounting screw hole.

2. Mark the locations of the screw holes on the wall.

3. Drill a hole for each marked location and insert a screw in each.

Note:

Make sure to leave enough of the screw head above the wall surface to secure the router.

Setup Notes

When considering the placement of the device remember the following:

 It must be located close to a DSL or Cable modem.
 It must be close to an electrical outlet.
 Upon first setup, it must be close to the computer that is used to set up and configure the router.
 For optimal wireless access place the router in the center of the room, at a high altitude and with an unobstructed view

of the other wireless devices.

 Other electronic devices can interfere with the wireless frequency of the router and reduce the wireless access range.
