Creating your network
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.
•
For the best front-to-rear coverage, place the wireless router in
an upright position.
•
For the best up-and-down coverage, place the wireless router
in an inclined position.
•
Always update to the latest firmware. Visit the ASUS website at
to get the latest firmware updates.

What you need
To set up your network, you need one or two computers that meet
the following system requirements:
•
Ethernet RJ-45 (LAN) port (10Base-T/100Base-TX/
1000BaseTX)
•
IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n 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 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.
• If you are using only one computer with single band
IEEE 802.11b/g/n WLAN adapter, you will only be able to use
the 2.4GHz band.
• If you are using only one computer with dual band
IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n 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 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.

Modem
Setting up your wireless router
Wired connection
IMPORTANT!
• Use wired connection in setting up your wireless router to
avoid possible setup problems due to wireless uncertainty.
• Before setting up your ASUS wireless router, do the following:
•
If you are replacing an existing router, disconnect it from
your network.
•
Disconnect the cables/wires from your existing modem
setup. If your modem has a backup battery, remove it as
well.
• Reboot your computer (recommended).
NOTE:
Your wireless router has an integrated auto-crossover
function, so use either straight-through or crossover cable for
wired connection.
To set up your wireless router via wired connection:
1. Insert your wireless router’s AC adapter to the DC-In port and
plug it to a power outlet.
