Your Router’s WiFi performance may be greatly affected by certain obstacles, such as the presence
of paper (a bookcase), metal, water (an aquarium) or a wall made of reinforced concrete between the
Hercules Router and any WiFi adapters.
Moreover, do not hesitate to adjust each of the 3 antennas to different positions in order to achieve
optimum reception of the WiFi signal.
2.2. Uninstalling your modem or disabling the automatic
connection to your modem
If you already have an Internet “Box” or Ethernet modem connected to your computer, we recommend that
you
uninstall
it or
disable the automatic connection
to this modem. The objective in doing so is to
establish the Internet connection via the TCP/IP local area network created by the Hercules Router, and no
longer directly via your ADSL modem.

modem, you cannot connect the USB modem to your Hercules Router and access the Internet.

information, please refer to your modem's user manual.
