Installing the Wireless Router

This product is for indoor use only. Do not route the Ethernet cable(s)

outside of the building. Exposure of the cables to lightning could create a

safety hazard and damage the product.

Pre-Installation Considerations

You should consider the following factors when choosing a location to install your SBR-AC1750:

•

For the best Wi-Fi coverage, a central location in your home or building is recommended.

•

Check that there is an available AC outlet available nearby. For best results, the outlet should

not be connected to a wall switch and it should be close enough to the SBR-AC1750 to avoid

using extension cords.

•

Make sure your Internet Service Provider (ISP) cable, DSL, or satellite modem device is nearby

so that you can easily run cables between the modem and SBR-AC1750.

•

If you are connecting devices to the Ethernet ports, make sure you can easily run cables

between the SBR-AC1750 and those devices.

•

If you want to install the SBR-AC1750 on a desktop, make sure there is enough space on both

sides of the device to keep the vents clear. Blocking the vents may cause overheating.

•

Consider the amount of space between your wireless devices. The wireless connection range

for the SBR-AC1750 is typically 100–200 feet (30m–65m). The distance may vary depending on

impacting factors such as the number of walls, metal objects, etc.

Connect the SBR-AC1750 to Your Computer

Before installing your SBR-AC1750:

•

To access the Internet, you will need a broadband Internet connection from an Internet

Service Provider.

•

Choose a location in your home where your modem is preferably near existing cable and

electrical wall outlets.
