Positioning your xDSL modem router
For the best wireless signal transmission between the xDSL
modem router and the network devices connected to it, ensure
that you:
Place the xDSL modem router in a centralized area for a
maximum wireless coverage for the network devices.
Keep the device away from metal obstructions and away from
direct sunlight.
To prevent signal interference or loss, keep the device 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.
Always update to the latest firmware. Visit the ASUS
website at
to get the latest firmware
updates.
To ensure the best wireless signal, orient the four
detachable antennas as shown in the drawing below.

Setup Requirements
To set up your wireless network, you need a computer that meets
the following system requirements:
• Ethernet RJ-45 (LAN) port (10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-
TX)
• IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac wireless capability
• An installed TCP/IP service
• Web browser such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, or
Google Chrome
NOTES:
If your computer does not have built-in wireless capabilities, you may
install an IEEE 802.11
a/b/g/n/ac
WLAN adapter to your computer to
connect to the network.
With its dual band technology, your ADSL/VDSL router supports
2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless signals simultaneously. This allows you
to browse the Internet or access e-mail messages using the 2.4GHz
band while streaming high-definition audio/video files such as
movies or music using the 5GHz band.
If you are using only one computer with a single band IEEE 802.11a/
b/g/n/ac WLAN adapter, you will only be able to use the 2.4GHz
band.
If you are using only one computer with a dual band IEEE 802.11a/
b/g/n/ac WLAN adapter, you will be able to use the 2.4GHz or 5GHz
band.
If you are using two computers with both IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac
WLAN adapters, you will be able to use both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands
simultaneously.
The Ethernet RJ-45 cables that will be used to connect the network
devices should not exceed 100 meters.
