Antenna Setup
In order to use the router’s wireless functionality, you need to attach the
included three antennas to the router. To do this, screw each antenna
into the three screw fittings on the back of the router.
Note:
Each antenna is identical, so it does not matter which antenna is
screwed into which fitting.
For best performance, position the router’s antennas with their flat side
facing towards the front, and tilt the left and right antennas sideways
from the center at a 45 degree angle.
