Installing Your Wireless Router
Setting Up a New Network (WLAN only)
Follow these instructions if you are including your Wireless Router
in a new network that includes wireless stations only.
These instructions are appropriate if:
■
you want all your network stations to be portable, or
■
you cannot locate any of your network stations near your
modem or Wireless Router.
Note:
On a WLAN, each network station must have a wireless
network adapter installed or connected. Go to the Adaptec
Web site at
www.adaptec.com
for information on Adaptec
Wireless PC Cards and Wireless PCI and USB adapters.
To connect your Wireless Router:
1
Find a suitable location to install your Wireless Router.
For maximum performance, install it in the center of your
network, in a place that has a line of sight to all the devices
connecting to it.The higher you place your Wireless Router, the
better the signal coverage will be, especially if you have
wireless stations upstairs from your Wireless Router.
Caution:
Keep it as far away as possible from potential
sources of interference, such as microwave ovens, 2.4 GHz
wireless telephones, baby monitors and other wireless
devices.
2
If desired, attach your Wireless Router to the wall, using the
mounting screws provided.
