Hardware Installation
3.1 Selecting a Position for the Router
Place the router in a stable and well-ventilated place and do not expose it to direct
sunlight, as described in chapter 1 "Warnings and Precaution." If you want to use the
WLAN function of the router, you also need to pay attention to the following precautions
for a better performance of the WLAN:
Place the router in an open space and ensure that no obstacle, such as a cement or
wooden wall, exists between your PC and the router. Otherwise, the transmission of
radio signals on the WLAN is affected.
Ensure that the router and your PC are far from the electric appliances (such as a
microwave oven) that generate strong magnetic or electric fields.
