that, please install the router according to the following steps. Don't forget to pull out the
power plug and keep your hands dry.

2. Locate an optimum location for the router. The best place is usually near the center
of the area in which your PC will wirelessly connect. The place must accord with the
Installation Environment Requirements..
3. Adjust the direction of the antenna. Normally, upright is a good direction.
4. Connect the PCs and each Switch/Hub in your LAN to the LAN Ports on the router,
shown in figure 3-1. (If you have the wireless NIC and want to use wireless
connector, you can skip this step.)
