2INSTALLING THE ADSL ROUTER
This chapter describes how to install the ADSL Router.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
You must meet the following minimum requirements:
◆ADSL Internet service provider and modem with Ethernet connection.
◆A 2.4GHz 802.11b/g wireless adapter installed on each PC.
Alternatively an Ethernet adapter can be used.
◆A web browser: Internet Explorer 5.5 or above, Netscape 4.7 or above,
Mozilla Firefox 1.0 or above.
LOCATION SELECTION
Choose a proper place for the ADSL Router. In general, the best location is
at the center of your wireless coverage area, within line of sight of all
wireless devices. Try to place the ADSL Router in a position that can best
cover its service area. For optimum performance, consider these
guidelines:
◆Mount the ADSL Router as high as possible above any obstructions in
the coverage area.
◆Avoid mounting next to or near building support columns or other
obstructions that may cause reduced signal or null zones in parts of the
coverage area.
◆Mount away from any signal absorbing or reflecting structures (such as
those containing metal).
The ADSL Router can be mounted on any horizontal surface, or a wall.
