The JRS Eco 100 wireless router: 100% radiation-free in stand-by
An ordinary wifi router broadcasts beacon signals 24 hours a day, 10
ti es a second. This generates a considerable a ount of radiation in the
ho e, clearly easurable.
Wireless on demand The unique JRS Eco 100 fir ware, running on a
fast Asus® router, enables a Full Eco standby ode with 0%
electro agnetic e issions when no wireless devices are connected.
The router switches the wireless signal back on i ediately when you
enable wifi on your device or open the list of available networks. Even
when wireless is active, it has an up to 90% reduced pulse frequency
(see Appendix 1).
The globally unique JRS Eco 100 technology is co patible with all
brands and odels of wireless devices: Android®, Apple®, Windows®
and others. You don’t lose any wifi speed, range or stability. The
JRS Eco 100 also offers a reduced beacon pulsation frequency, just like
the previous generation JRS Eco routers, even during use.
JRS Eco 100 is a special fir ware / operating syste for specific odels
of Asus routers. It is an extension of the original Asus fir ware.

1 Is a router running JRS Eco firmware safe in terms of exposure
to wifi radiation?
A wifi router e its electro agnetic radiation, which is
shown to be possibly unsafe in nu erous scientific
studies, even if the e issions are below current official
exposure li its. A nu ber of studies are listed on our
website at www.jrseco.co /science. You can reduce your
exposure by li iting the duration of exposure and by increasing the
distance between your body and the antennas. Any wifi device has
antennas, either internal or external.
Although the JRS Eco 100 on Asus router fir ware easurably reduces
router electro agnetic field (EMF) e issions, JRS offers no other than
legally required safety guarantees regarding the electro agnetic radiation
of the router running the JRS Eco fir ware, and use is at your own risk and
responsibility.
Wifi is two-way traffic. Both the router and your wireless devices e it
EMFs. Although the Eco firmware greatly reduces router radiation
during stand-by and partly during operation, it does not reduce
radiation from your wireless devices For each piece of data sent fro
the wifi router, a confir ation is sent back by your device. Wifi radiation
fro devices is very strong and you keep the device very close to your
body. Especially in data-intensive applications such as video, wifi radiation
fro the device is high. Even when the router is off, your wireless device
will still e it wifi radiation as long as its wifi is turned on. Most devices will
inter ittently send out wifi network scans, looking for available wifi
networks.
By using the JRS Eco firmware you agree to be aware of the risks and
that the use of the router and firmware is at your own risk It ay be
possible to reduce the trans it power of your co puter's wifi adapter by
adjusting its settings with the Windows® Device Manager. You can ini ize
your exposure to electro agnetic radiation by working with a wired Internet
connection. A hardwired Internet connection is radiation-free.
The router manual from Asus proposes the use of the AiMesh system
which allows multiple Asus routers to be interconnected wirelessly. This is
not supported by the JRS Eco firmware and will increase wifi radiation,
because all wireless si nals then need to be transmitted multiple times,
hoppin from one mesh node to another.

2 Installing your Eco wireless router
The figure below shows how to connect the router to your Internet
ode .
1. Connect the included Ethernet cable fro the blue WAN port of the
Eco router to a free LAN port of your Internet ode . Hardwiring a
co puter is optional.
2. Mount the antennas on the Eco router. If a plug adapter was
included in your ship ent, push the power adapter in as far as it
will go. Connect the power adapter to the router and plug the
adapter into a power outlet.
3. Important! If your Internet modem has wifi built in, switch it
off If you don't know how, ask the custo er service of your
provider for help. See Chapter 5 in this anual for ore details.
In almost all cases the router will automatically detect the connection
type, provided you have wired it correctly to your Internet modem/router.
If you are not ettin Internet throu h the Eco router, please inform with
your Internet Service Provider about the required settin s.

3 Connecting your wireless devices to the router
One thing is different fro ordinary wifi routers. This has to do with the
Eco router's special zero e ission sleep ode.
To guarantee your device can wake up the Eco router from sleep
mode, on modern Android® and Apple® wireless devices, you need
to connect to the hidden network 'jrs' You need to manually set
this up once in your device, then it will remember the credentials
•In the wifi menu, select ‘Add network’, ‘Other network’ or
similar, and then manually enter the SSID / network name ‘jrs’
•Select security WPA2 (personal)
•The wifi password is the PIN code listed on the label on your
router
•In Android, if Advanced options are available, set ‘Hidden
Network’ to Yes
It’s fine to simply connect to the visible wifi network ‘JRSeco100’
Connecting to the hidden network 'jrs' only needs to be done on
devices that you want to be able to wake the router from sleep
mode
The screen shots on the next page show how to connect fro an
Android phone (left) and fro an iPhone (right). To ake this ‘Add
network’ screen appear on an Android phone, you either need to click
on the enu icon and then press “Add network” or you need to click on
the ‘+’-sign at the right top in the list of available wireless networks.
On an iPhone or iPad, you need to click on ‘Other network’ at the
botto of the list of available wifi networks. Enter ‘jrs’ for network na e.
Select WPA2 at ‘security’ and enter the wifi password that you set for the
visible network. Set Hidden network to Yes if this advanced option is
available. For a Macbook, you can google ‘connect hidden ssid ac os’.
There is also a 5 GHz hidden network labeled jrs5.
Fro now on, always connect to this hidden network and 'Forget' the
visible networks on your devices, in case you already entered the wifi
password for those.

On Windows, connecting to the hidden ‘jrs’ network is only needed
when you have set Windows to use rando hardware addresses. Open
the Settings and then go to Network & Internet. Select Wi-Fi and click
“Manage known networks”. Then click the “+ Add a network” button.
Enter ‘jrs’ for the network na e. Select WPA2 at ‘security’ and enter the
wifi password that you set for the visible network. Check the box that

says “Connect auto atically”. Also check the box that says “Connect
even if the network is not broadcasting.”
3 1 Why the hidden ‘jrs’ network?
Connecting to the hidden ‘jrs’ network is needed on devices that do so-
called MAC (hardware) address rando ization. It is usually not required
on devices older than about 5 years or on Windows® devices.
If the wifi network doesn't appear in the list of available wifi networks on
your wireless device when the Eco 100 on Asus router is in Full Eco
sleep ode, that is when you need to connect your device to the hidden
'jrs' network.
The hidden network does not add to the e issions, because both
network beacons (visible + hidden) are sent in one single 'pulse'.
4 Dual band
Most odern wifi routers are dual band, eaning they broadcast two wifi
networks: one at 2.4 GHz and the other at 5 GHz. The Eco router also
e its two wifi networks: one called ‘JRSeco100’ and another
‘JRSeco100-5’. The range is best on the 2.4 GHz network because
5 GHz is attenuated ore by walls and ceilings. On the 5 GHz network,
the axi u wifi throughput speed (about 400 Megabits p/s) can be

[email protected]
achieved. On 2.4 GHz the ax. speed is about 150 Mbps.
If you prefer, switching off 5 GHz will reduce wifi radiation fro the router
even ore. You can do it fro the JRS tab on the Wireless page. First
set the Band selector to 5 GHz, then set Enable Radio to No and click on
Apply at the botto of the page.
The 2.4 GHz needs to re ain turned on in order for the Full Eco
functionality to work properly.
5 GHz does not have anything to do with 5G. These are two different
things that are totally unrelated but often ixed up. 5G is the new (fifth)
generation of networks for obile telephony, which will work at higher
frequencies and will require any ore trans itters.
5 Important: Turning off the built-in wifi of your Internet modem
If your Internet modem has wifi built in, switch it off, to eliminate
unnecessary wifi radiation If you don't know how, ask the
customer service of your provider for help See also below
You need to retain your Internet ode because it provides the
conversion of the Internet signal to ADSL, cable or fiber, the specifics of
which depend on your Internet provider. If your Internet ode has built-
in wifi, this needs to be turned off in order to ini ize wifi radiation and
interference. You don’t need that wifi signal any ore because the wifi
function is taken over by the Eco router.
On so e Internet ode s you can si ply turn off the wifi with a switch
on your ode . Usually the built-in wifi can be turned off in the settings
enu of your Internet ode , which can be reached through a web
browser by typing in the correct address, an IP nu ber. Alternatively you
ay search for a do-it-yourself anual on the Internet by typing the
provider na e and the ake and odel of your Internet ode .
We regularly receive questions on how to do this. Please understand
that we cannot support all the different providers and ode s. This is
outside of our scope of influence. However re e ber that turning off the
built-in wifi is always possible. If you don’t know how, ask your provider’s
custo er service to help you.

If your Internet provider also operates a public wifi network through its
Internet ode s, please ake sure to also turn this public wifi network
off. In so e cases you need to do this on a separate web page of the
Internet provider with a personal login. You can check if your ode is
not e itting any wifi any ore by holding your s art phone next to it and
scanning for wifi networks. Make sure there is no strong wifi network on
top of the list with the na e of the public network.
6 Using the JRS Eco 100 on Asus router
If you have just installed the Eco 100 on Asus router, its wifi signal will be
active and waiting for the first wireless device to connect.
In order to recognize which devices are yours, the router auto atically
keeps a list of devices that you have previously connected to it: the
registration list. Once you have connected the first wireless device to the
router, this device will be auto atically registered in the list, and the
router will switch into Beacon Eco ode (a.k.a. Learning ode). After
one day it auto atically switches to Full Eco mode, in which the JRS
Eco 100 on Asus router is fully radiation-free in stand-by.
Once the router is in Full Eco mode, it will only wake up in the
following two situations:
1 It receives a connection request from a device with a MAC
(hardware) address that is in the registration list
2 It receives a connection request from a device with any MAC
(hardware) address, for the hidden network named ‘jrs’
Your wireless device will send the above connection requests if
you enable wifi or open the list of available networks Type 2
requests will only be sent by your device if you have manually
entered the credentials for the hidden ‘jrs’ network as explained on
p 6
When no wireless devices are connected to the router, it will turn off the
beacon signal in standby, thereby reducing unnecessary e issions.
6 1 Full Eco mode, Beacon Eco mode and Legacy Eco-wifi mode
In Beacon Eco ode, also called learning ode, the router sends
responses to connection requests fro all devices, whether they are on

[email protected]
the register list or not, so that you can easily connect all your wifi
devices.
As soon as no new devices have been registered for one day, the Eco
router auto atically switches fro Beacon Eco ode to Full Eco ode.
In Full Eco ode, the router only sends responses to connection
requests fro devices which are on the registration list. In Full Eco ode
standby, the router is co pletely radiation-free.
In both odes, the beacon signal is turned off fully in standby.
You can lock the router into Beacon Eco mode. This can be useful if you
want to make it easier to connect with unre istered devices, or if some
wireless devices do not work properly with Full Eco mode. The Lock
settin is explained in Chapter 9.
6 2 How to connect a new wireless device to the Eco router when it
is in sleep mode
If the router is in Full Eco standby ode, it will not wake up for any
unregistered devices and in its list of available networks the wifi network
will not be visible. If you would still like to connect an unregistered
device, you can do it in one of these ways:
•First connect to the router with a registered device, to wake up the
router fro sleep ode. Then connect with the unregistered
device.
•You can press the wifi button on the side of the router to activate
wifi.
•Connect the new wireless device to the hidden network jrs as
explained on p.6.
7 Manually turning the wifi signal off and on
Using the wifi on/off button on the side of the Eco router, on selected
odels, the wifi signal can be anually turned off, while the hardwired
Ethernet ports keep functioning. Wifi e issions are co pletely stopped
while you can keep working using the hardwired ports. If the wifi
indicator lights go off, the wifi is turned off. To turn the wifi back on, push
the button again.

9 The JRS Eco 100 settings page
In the Asus settings enu, there is a separate tab for the JRS Eco 100
functionality. See p.16-17 of this anual for a screen shot. You can
access the settings enu as follows:
1. In your web browser, go to http://router.asus.co and login.
2. The default login name is ‘admin’ and the password is the PIN
code listed on the label on your router
3. Click on Wireless (under Advanced Settings) and then click on the
tab labeled JRS.
9 1 Detailed JRS Eco 100 settings
- Current status: Shows whether the Eco 100 on Asus router is in
standby ode or active. Will show a essage when the registration list
is e pty.
- JRS Eco 100 mode (Default: Full Eco mode): Here you can select the
ode of operation for the Eco 100 on Asus router.
•JRS Full Eco mode: Auto atically switches the wifi signal off fully
in standby, when no devices are connected. The router only
responds to connection requests fro registered devices. Reduces
e issions when active by lowering the beacon pulse frequency.
•JRS Beacon Eco mode: The sending of beacon signals is
auto atically turned off when no devices are connected. The Eco
100 on Asus router still responds to probe / connection requests
fro unregistered devices. This ode is also called Learning
ode. Reduces e issions when active by lowering the beacon
pulse frequency.
•Legacy JRS Eco wifi mode: You can also set the router to
Legacy Eco-wifi ode, in which it still features a 90% reduced
beacon pulse interval, but will not turn off the beacon signal.
- Lock Beacon Eco Mode (Default: No): When set to No, and the Eco
100 on Asus router is in Beacon Eco ode, it auto atically goes into
Full Eco ode when no new devices register during 1 day. Set this
option to Yes to keep the router in Beacon Eco ode. This can be useful

if you want to ake it easier to connect with unregistered devices, and
ay have the advantage of better co patibility with so e devices.
- Match hidden network (Default: Yes): If the wifi network doesn't appear
on your wireless device when the Eco 100 on Asus router is in Full Eco
standby, connect it to hidden (Other network) jrs or jrs5. See also
Chapter 3 (‘Connecting your wireless devices to the router’). When
'Match hidden network' is set to Yes (default), the Eco 100 on Asus
router will set the sa e password and security (e.g. WPA2) for these
hidden networks as you have set for your ain wifi networks. When set
to No, you are able to set a custo na e and password for the hidden
networks on the Guest Network page.
- I nore connection requests for 5 GHz network (Default: No): When set
to Yes, the Eco 100 on Asus router will not leave standby ode upon
receiving connection requests at 5 GHz. Most devices also send
connection requests at 2.4 GHz. If set to Yes, it ay avoid unnecessary
activation of the wifi signal.
- JRS Eco 100 timeout (20-900, default: 120): When no devices are
connected to the Eco 100 on Asus router, and this nu ber of seconds
has passed, the router will go into standby. This is also the interval at
which the registration list is updated with new devices. Setting it to a
lower value will ake the router deactivate wifi sooner after the last
device has disconnected, but has the disadvantage that if it is woken up
fro standby, and you don’t connect soon enough after opening the list
of available networks on your device, the router ay have already turned
off again.
- Maximum number of entries allowed in re istration list (1-64, default:
64): If a new device registers, the oldest entries are auto atically
deleted to ake space.
- Automatically update to latest version of JRS Eco 100 firmware when
available (default: Yes): At the default setting, the router auto atically
updates its JRS Eco fir ware when a new fir ware is available, and you
don't need to anually update. Setting this to No will turn auto atic
updates off and the router will never contact the JRS server. Please
keep in ind that there ay be i portant security patches in fir ware
updates.

- Band: Use the band selector to display settings for 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz.
The settings below the band selector are specific to each band.
- Enable Radio: Enable or disable 2.4 or 5 GHz wifi trans itter. The 2.4
GHz NEEDS to be turned on in order for the Full Eco functionality to
work properly. When you turn off 2.4 GHz altogether, the Full Eco ode /
Beacon Eco ode is not functional and the wifi will re ain turned on,
albeit still with 90% reduction in pulsation frequency.
- JRS Eco 100 re istration lists: This shows the registered devices for
which the router will wake up fro standby. The registration lists for
2.4 GHz and 5 GHz are separate. You can switch the band selector to
view the other list. If ‘Connected Now’ is shown next to a device, this
eans its wifi is active and is currently connected to the router, which will
keep the router active. The registration lists are stored in non-volatile
flash e ory and re ain even if you turn the power off. You can clear a
list by clicking the ‘Clear list’ button.
- Tx power adjustment (0%-100% or 4-1000 mW): To reduce
radiation even further, you can lower the transmit (Tx) power
The JRS Eco 100 fir ware offers fine tuning of the trans ission power
in s all steps. The lowest possible setting is 4 W. The lower the
setting, the lower your exposure to EMFs. This will reduce the router's
range. See also Appendix 1.
The trans ission power is best set to the lowest value at which the
desired wifi coverage is achieved reliably, and no higher. This depends
on the size of your office or house, the type of walls and floors (wood,
stone, or reinforced concrete), and the quality of the wifi receivers in the
used laptops/tablets/ obile phones etc.
The wifi signal strength ay affect download/upload speeds and stability.
Just give it a try and see what is the lowest setting that still works for
you. You ay need to set the router to a different wifi channel in the
Wireless -> General tab, to avoid interference fro neighboring wifi
routers and be able to have good range at a low trans it power. Using
the Site Survey tab on the Wireless page, you can find out which
channels are occupied. For ore details about this procedure, see
Troubleshooting 10.5

- Enable wireless scheduler: Here you can set ti es at which the wifi is
auto atically turned off fully, whether wireless devices are connected or
not.
To switch on wifi anually during off ti es, press the wifi on/off button on
the side of the router. The router will resu e its on-/off schedule at the
next set ti e.
- Beacon Interval (20-65535, default: 1000): This setting is i portant for
e issions reduction. The reduction percentage with regard to ordinary
wifi routers is shown. For a detailed explanation see Appendix 1.
The reduced pulse frequency of the Eco router ay not be co patible
with your wireless device. This especially happens with the 5 GHz
connections. In this case you can adjust the Beacon Interval setting on
the JRS settings tab. This will increase the pulse frequency. If you are
having trouble connecting at 2.4 GHz, you can lower the beacon interval
to 800 s. Setting the beacon interval higher that 1000 s ay cause
proble s with certain wireless devices. For the 5 GHz channel you ay
need to reduce it even further, if the 5 GHz network is not showing on
your wireless device. After changing the value, it ay take a few inutes
for the 5 GHz network to co e back up.
9 2 Changing the passwords and wifi network name
The wifi password is unique to your router, because each router has a
different PIN code, so you can safely leave it as it is. Still, if you want,
you can custo ize the password and wifi network na e in the router
settings enu at router.asus.com. The wifi password is set on the
Wireless -> General page. There is one setting for the 2.4 GHz network
and another for 5 GHz. You can change between the using the Band
selector.
If you want to change the na e and/or password for the hidden ‘jrs’
network, you can do this on the Guest Network page, but first please see
‘Match hidden network’ in 9.1.
The ad inistrator password for logging into the router settings enu is
set on the Ad inistration -> Syste page and also defaults to the PIN
code.

10 Troubleshooting
10 1 How to reset the router to factory default settings
If you’ve changed the ad inistrator password, and you can’t re e ber
it, or you si ply want to start with a clean slate, you can reset the router
as follows. This will return all settings to the default values. Turn off the
