To Power Up...
To operate normally, the RG11B should be put on a flat surface, and do
not put any heavy object on it. Before connecting the RG11B to your
devices, please note that the RG11B should be placed in a location where
is:
-
Easy to access
; so that you can conveniently connect it to the xDSL/
Cable Modem through the WAN port, and to the computers/devices
through the LAN ports.
-
Allows you to observe the LEDs clearly
; so that you may monitor the
real-time networking status and take instant measures as problems
arise.
Tip:
The location of the RG11B should be the optimum position to obtain
the best signal; sometimes, you may adjust the direction of the antenna(s).
