our AirStation may be used horizontally or vertically.  

For horizontal placement, leave the silver base attached to the 

antennas.  The antennas will usually work best if oriented vertically.

Assemble Your AirStation

For vertical placement, attach the stand to base of the router as 

shown at left.  Remove the silver base from the antennas.  The 

antennas may then be attached to the top of the AirStation.
