wireless coverage for the network devices.

• Keep the device away from metal obstructions and away from

direct sunlight.

• Keep the device away from 802.11g 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
