1. Position your wireless router.
For the optimal wireless transmission between the wireless router and connect-
ed wireless devices, ensure that you:
• Place the wireless router in a centralized area for a maximum wireless coverage
for the network devices.
• Keep the wireless router away from metal obstructions and away from direct
sunlight.
• Keep the wireless router away from 802.11g or 20MHz only Wi-Fi devices,
2.4GHz computer peripherals, Bluetooth devices, cordless phones, transformers,
heavy-duty motors, fluorescent lights, microwave ovens, refrigerators, and other
industrial equipment to prevent signal interference or loss.
• Always update to the latest firmware. Visit the ASUS website at
http://www.asus.com to get the latest firmware updates.
• To ensure the best wireless signal, orient the four detachable antennas as shown
