This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in 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 or more 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.
2）This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause

Chapter 2. Connecting the Router
2.1 System Requirements
Each PC in the LAN needs a working Ethernet Adapter
TCP/IP protocol must be installed on each PC
Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari
If the device is configured to Wireless Router/Access Point mode, you also need Broadband
InternetAccess Service (DSL/Cable/Ethernet)
One DSL/Cable Modem that has an RJ45 connector (which is not necessary if the Router is
connected directly to the Ethernet.)
2.2 Installation Environment Requirements
Place the Router in a well-ventilated place far from any heater or heating vent
Place the Router in a location where it can be connected to the various devices as well as to
a power source
Avoid direct irradiation of any strong light (such as sunlight)
Keep at least 2 inches (5 cm) of clear space around the Router
Operating Temperature: 0℃~ 40℃(32℉~104℉)
Operating Humidity: 10%~90%RH, Non-condensing
2.3 Connecting the Router
Before installing the Router, please make sure your broadband service provided by your ISP is
available. If there is any problem, please contact with your ISP. To connect the router, locate an
optimum location for the Router. The best place is usually at the center of your wireless network.
The place must accord with the Installation Environment Requirements.
After finishing the steps above, please choose the operation mode you need and carry out the
corresponding steps. There are four operation modes supported by this router: Standard
Wireless Router, Access Point, Repeater, and Client.
2.3.1 Standard Wireless Router Mode
Create an instant private wireless network and share Internet to multiple Wi-Fi devices. This mode
is suitable for hotel rooms and home networks. (Note: if the hotel’s Internet has an authentication
process, you will need to authenticate only once and only on one device.)
