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 802.11b/g 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 http://www.asus.com to get the latest firmware updates.
• To ensure the best wireless signal, orient the four external antennas as shown in the drawing below.
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)
• 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 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.
Router Setup
Use a wired connection when setting up your wireless router to avoid possible setup problems.
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 cable modem and computer (recommended).
Wired connection
You can use either a straight-through cable or a 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.
2. Using the bundled network cable, connect your computer to your wireless router's LAN port.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the LAN LED is blinking.
3 Using another network cable, connect your modem to your wireless router’s WAN port.
4. Insert your modem's AC adapter to the DC-IN port and plug it to a power outlet.
