accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device
may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the

1.5 Hardware 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 category 5 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 may occur damage by using a different type of power adapter.
The hardware installation nished.
1.6 Software Installation
