Installation
2.1Hardware Installation
Step 1: Place the Wireless LAN Broadband Router to the best optimum transmission
location. The best transmission location for your WLAN Broadband Router is
usually at the geographic center of your wireless network, with line of sign to all
of your mobile stations.
Step 2: Connect the WLAN Broadband Router to your wired network. Connect the
Ethernet WAN interface of WLAN Broadband Router by Ethernet cable to your
switch/ hub/ xDSL modem or cable modem. A straight-through Ethernet cable
with appropriate cable length is needed.
Step 3: Supply DC power to the WLAN Broadband Router. Use only the AC/DC power

adapter supplied with the WLAN Broadband Router; it maybe occur damage by
using a different type of power adapter.
The hardware installation finished.
2.2Software Installation
¾There is no software drivers, patches or utilities installation needed, but only the
configuration setting. Please refer to chapter 3 for software configuration.
Notice: It will take about 70 seconds to complete the boot up sequence after
powered on the WLAN Broadband Router.
