supplied device, then plug them into the IQrouter’s LAN ports.

That’s it! Please give the IQrouter a day or two to tune itself to your line. It will be continually measuring and
adapting to optimize the quality over time. So don’t expect all the benefits until it has been able to adjust.
High speed lines also need a day or two to discover the true maximum throughput. Some lines are highly
variable and might even take longer.

Tips
Now that the IQrouter is managing the line, you will want to ensure that you get all the benefits
wherever you are in the home, please read our Network Quality article to learn more about how to
get good results:

The IQrouter features a Speed Test that runs from the router itself so that it can accurately account
for all traffic and report true peak throughput as well as total managed throughput. It can be run
from any device and will always report accurate managed line speed, unaffected by any limitations of
the device or its connection. To run this test, log in to the IQrouter and select Configure→Speed Test.
Make sure you also read the articles on our Speed page:
http://evenroute.com/speed/
If something does not seem to be working well, first log into the administrative interface for possible warnings
and other feedback. The IQrouter will let you know about line issues, problems with upstream gear and other
possible issues.
