Connect the Hardware
2. 1. Position Your Router
• The product should not be located in a place where it will be exposed to moisture or
excessive heat.
• Place the router in a location where it can be connected to multiple devices as well as
to a power source.
• Make sure the cables and power cord are safely placed out of the way so they do not
create a tripping hazard.
• The router can be placed on a shelf or desktop.
• Keep the router away from devices with strong electromagnetic interference, such as
Bluetooth devices, cordless phones and microwaves.
2. 2. Connect Your Router
Before you start, turn off your modem, if any, and remove the backup battery if it has
one. Place the router horizontally and extend the antennas to the maximum angle.
Follow the steps below to connect your router.
If your internet connection is through an Ethernet cable from the wall instead of through
a DSL / Cable / Satellite modem, connect the Ethernet cable directly to the router’s
Internet port, and then follow Step 1, 5 and 6 to complete the hardware connection.
