802.11n Wireless Broadband Router

Place the Wireless Broadband Router in a location where it can be easily connected to the wired interface (Ethernet link to a broadband modem, for example) as well as function effectively as a Wireless LAN access point. Make sure the Wireless Broadband Router is near a suitable power source.

Connect the bundled power supply to the power connection on the back of the C300BRS4A and to a free wall power outlet. The Power LED of the C300BRS4A will turn on.

Wireless LAN Performance and Environment

Many environmental factors can affect the effective wireless function of the Wireless Broadband Router. If this is your first time setting up a wireless network device, read and consider the points listed below.

The Wireless Broadband Router can be placed on a shelf or desktop, ideally you should be able to see the LED indicators on the front if you need to view them for troubleshooting.

The Wireless Broadband Router lets you access your network within range of the device. However, walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through can limit signal range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF noise in your home or business. For maximum range and signal strength, use these basic guidelines:

1.Keep the number of walls and ceilings to a minimum:

The signal emitted from Wireless LAN devices can penetrate through ceilings and walls. However, each wall or ceiling can reduce the range Wireless LAN devices from 1 to 30M. Position your wireless devices so that the number of walls or ceilings obstructing the signal path is minimized.

2.Consider the direct line between access points and workstations:

A wall that is 0.5 meters thick, at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 1 meter thick. At a 2-degree angle, it is over 14 meters thick. Be careful to position access points and client adapters so the signal can travel straight through (90º angle) a wall or ceiling for better reception.

3.Building Materials make a difference:

Buildings constructed using metal framing or doors can reduce effective range of the device. If possible, position wireless devices so that their signal can pass through drywall or open doorways, avoid positioning them so that their signal must pass through metallic materials. Poured concrete walls are reinforced with steel while cinderblock walls may have little or no structural steel.

4.Keep the Wireless Broadband Router away (at least 1-2 meters) from electrical devices:

Position wireless devices away from electrical devices that generate RF noise such as micro- wave ovens, monitors, electric motors, etc.
