For the optimal wireless transmission between the wireless router and
connected wireless devices, ensure that you:
• Place the wireless router in a centralized area for a maximum wireless coverage
for the network devices.
• Keep the wireless router away from metal obstructions and away from direct
sunlight.
• Keep the wireless router away from 802.11g or 20MHz only Wi-Fi devices,
2.4GHz computer peripherals, Bluetooth devices, cordless phones, transformers,
heavy-duty motors, uorescent lights, microwave ovens, refrigerators, and other
industrial equipment to prevent signal interference or loss.
• To ensure the best wireless signal, orient the three detachable antennas as
shown in the drawing below.
• Always update to the latest rmware. Visit the ASUS website at
http://www.asus.com to get the latest rmware updates.

• Pour retirer un périphérique de stockage USB en toute sécurité, ouvrez
l'interface de gestion du routeur (http://192.168.1.1), puis dans la page
Carte réseau, cliquez sur l'icône USB située dans le coin supérieur droit puis
sur Éjecter le périphérique USB 3.0 / USB 2.0.
• Une mauvaise éjection du périphérique de stockage USB peut endommager
les données contenues sur le disque.

Installer votre routeur
Installer votre routeur
IMPORTANT : Avant d'installer le routeur, assurez-vous que votre connexion
internet est établie
1. Placer le routeur Wi-Fi.
Pour optimiser la transmission du signal Wi-Fi entre votre routeur et les périphériques
réseau y étant connectés, veuillez vous assurer des points suivants :
• Placez le routeur Wi-Fi dans un emplacement central pour obtenir une couverture Wi-Fi
optimale.
• Maintenez le routeur à distance des obstructions métalliques et des rayons du soleil.
• Maintenez le routeur à distance d'appareils ne fonctionnant qu'avec les normes/
fréquences Wi-Fi 802.11g ou 20MHz, les périphériques 2,4 GHz et Bluetooth, les
téléphones sans l, les transformateurs électriques, les moteurs à service intense,
les lumières uorescentes, les micro-ondes, les réfrigérateurs et autres équipements
industriels pour éviter les interférences ou les pertes de signal Wi-Fi.
• Orientez les trois antennes amovibles comme illustré ci-dessous pour améliorer la
qualité de couverture du signal Wi-Fi.
• Mettez toujours le routeur à jour dans la version de rmware la plus récente. Visitez le
site Web d'ASUS sur http://www.asus.com pour consulter la liste des mises à jour.
