Installing Your Wireless Router

Adding a WLAN to an Existing LAN

Follow these instructions if you are adding your Wireless Router to 
a network that currently includes wired computer stations only. 
These instructions assume that you have an Broadband modem 
currently connected to one of your wired computer stations. 

Note: 

Your Wireless Router alone is not enough to create a 

WLAN. Each network station on your WLAN must have a 
wireless network adapter installed or connected. Go to the 
Adaptec Web site at 

www.adaptec.com

 for information on 

Adaptec Wireless PC Cards and Wireless PCI and USB 
adapters.

To connect your Wireless Router:

1

Find a suitable location to install your Wireless Router. 

For maximum performance, install it in the center of your 
network, in a place that has a line of sight to all the devices 
connecting to it.The higher you place your Wireless Router, the 
better the signal coverage will be, especially if you have 
wireless stations upstairs from your Wireless Router.

Caution: 

Keep it as far away as possible from potential 

sources of interference, such as microwave ovens, 2.4 GHz 
wireless telephones, baby monitors and other wireless 
devices. 

2

If desired, attach your Wireless Router to the wall, using the 
mounting screws provided.

3

Connect the power cord to the DC-IN port on your Wireless 
Router, then plug it into a power outlet.
