Connecting your Router

Positioning your Router

Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer is to your Router. Typical indoor operating range for your wireless devices is between 100 and 200 feet. In the same way, your wireless connection and performance will degrade somewhat as the distance between your Router connected devices increases. This may or may not be noticeable to you. As you move farther from your Router, connection speed may decrease. Factors that can weaken signals simply by getting in the way of your network’s radio waves are metal appliances, or obstructions, and walls. Please see “Appendix B: Important Factors for Placement and Setup” in this User Manual for more guidelines.

If you have concerns about your network’s performance that might be related to range or obstruction factors, try moving the computer to a position between five and 10 feet from the Router, in order to see if distance is the problem. If difficulties persist even at close range, please see the Troubleshooting section for solutions.

Connecting your Computers

1.Power off your computers and networking equipment.

2.Connect your computer to one of the YELLOW RJ45 ports on the rear of the Router labeled “connections to your computers” by using an Ethernet networking cable (one Ethernet network cable is supplied).
