Positioning your router
For the best wireless signal transmission between the wireless
router and the network devices connected to it, ensure that you:

Place the wireless 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.
•
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 to prevent signal interference or loss.
•
Always update to the latest firmware.Visit the ASUS website at
to get the latest firmware updates.

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 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WLAN adapter to your computer to
connect to the network.
•
With its dual band technology, your wireless router supports 2.4GHz
and 5GHz wireless signals simultaneously. This allows you to do
Internet-related activities such as Internet surfing or reading/writing
e-mail messages using the 2.4GHz band while simultaneously
streaming high-definition audio/video files such as movies or music
using the 5GHz band.
•
Some IEEE 802.11n devices that you want to connect to your network
may or may not support 5GHz band. Refer to the device's manual for
specifications.
•
The Ethernet RJ-45 cables that will be used to connect the network
devices should not exceed 100 meters.
