Hardware Installation for Connection to Your Broadband Modem

1.Power down your network devices.

2.Locate an optimum location for the Router. The best place for the Router is usually at the center of your wireless network, with line of sight to all of your mobile stations.

3.Attach the antenna and fix its direction. Try to place the Router in a position that will best cover your wireless network. Normally, the higher you place the antenna, the better the performance will be.
