Basic Installation Procedure
1. Connect the LAN: Connect the Router to your PC, or to a
hub or switch. Run Ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports
on the rear of the Router to your computer’s network adapter
or to another network device.
You may also connect the Router to your PC (using a
wireless client adapter) via radio signals. Position both
antennas on the back of the Router into the desired positions.
For more effective coverage, position the antennas along
different axes. For example, try positioning the antennas
around 45 to 90 degrees apart. (The antennas emit signals
along the toroidal plane – and thus provide more
effective coverage when positioned along different
axes.)
2. Connect the WAN: Prepare an Ethernet cable for connecting
the Router to a cable/xDSL modem or Ethernet router.
3. Power on: Connect the power adapter to the Router.
