Caution: The external PSU acts as a disconnect device
to isolate the equipment from the mains supply. It should
also be noted that it depends on over-current protection
of the building installation.
Note 1: The JN5168 USB Dongle (see Section 1.3.7 )
should not be plugged directly into the USB port of the
Linksys router but connected to the port via the supplied
USB extension cable. This facilitates improved radio
performance of the dongle.
Note 2: Wi-Fi is disabled by default on the supplied
Linksys router. If required, it must be enabled.
