* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g and Draft 802.11n specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and

environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental

Sect±on ³ - Installat±on

Before you Begin

This section will walk you through the installation process. Placement of the router is very important. Do not place the

router in an enclosed area such as a closet, cabinet, or in the attic or garage.

• Please configure the router with the computer that was last connected directly to your modem.

• You can only use the Ethernet port on your modem. If you were using the USB connection before using

the router, then you must turn off your modem, disconnect the USB cable and connect an Ethernet cable

to the Internet port on the router, and then turn the modem back on. In some cases, you may need to call

your ISP to change connection types (USB to Ethernet).

•

If you have DSL and are connecting via PPPoE, make sure you disable or uninstall any PPPoE software

such as WinPoet, Broadjump, or Enternet 300 from your computer or you will not be able to connect to

the Internet.

• When running the Setup Wizard from the Fry’s CD, make sure the computer you are running the CD

from is connected to the Internet and online or the wizard will not work. If you have disconnected any

hardware, re-connect your computer back to the modem and make sure you are online.
