The router is installed near the modem (typically supplied by your ISP “Internet Service Provider”)
and physically connected to it from the router’s Internet port to the modem’s network port which
connects to the Internet. 2.4GHz wireless signals from the router are broadcasted to wireless
clients such as laptops (with wireless capability) and the less congested 5GHz wireless signals from
the router are broadcasted to other wireless client devices such as TVs, game consoles, or media
bridges thereby providing Internet access for all wireless client devices.

Router Setup
Creating a Home Network
What is a network?
A network is a group of computers or devices that can communicate with each other. A
home network of more than one computer or device also typically includes Internet
access, which requires a router.
A typical home network may include multiple computers, a media player/server, a
printer, a modem, and a router. A large home network may also have a switch,
additional routers, access points, and many Internet-capable media devices such as TVs,
game consoles, and Internet cameras.
Modem –Connects a computer or router to the Internet or ISP (Internet Service
Provider).
Router –Connects multiple devices to the Internet.
Switch –Connect several wired network devices to your home network. Your
router has a built-in network switch (the LAN port 1-4). If you have more wired
network devices than available Ethernet ports on your router, you will need an
additional switch to add more wired connections.
How to set up a home network
1. For a network that includes Internet access, you’ll need:
Computers/devices with an Ethernet port (also called network port) or wireless
networking capabilities.
A modem and Internet service to your home, provided by your ISP (modem
typically supplied by your ISP).
A router to connect multiple devices to the Internet.
2. Make sure that your modem is working properly. Your modem is often provided by
your Internet Service Provider (ISP) when you sign up for Internet service. If your
modem is not working contact your ISP to verify functionality.
3. Set up your router. See “How to setup your router” below.
4. To connect additional wired computers or wired network devices to your network,
see “Connect additional wired devices to your network” on page 8.
5. To set up wireless security on your router, see “Wireless Networking and Security” on
page 21.
How to setup your router
Refer to the Quick Installation Guide or continue to the next section “Router
Installation” on page 5 for more detailed installation instructions.

performance, select Auto 20/40MHz (Options: 20MHz or Auto 20/40MHz). It is
recommended to use the default channel bandwidth settings.
For greater 802.11ac performance, select Auto 20/40/80MHz (Options: 20MHz,
Auto 20/40MHz, Auto 20/40/80MHz). It is recommended to use the default channel
width settings.
Note: Please note that the default settings may provide more stability than the
higher channel bandwidth settings such as Auto 20/40/80MHz for connectivity in
busy wireless environments where there are several wireless networks in the area.
o20 MHz –This mode operates using a single 20MHz channel for
wireless devices connecting at 802.11n on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. This
setting may provide more stability than 20/40MHz (Auto) for
connectivity in busy wireless environments where there are several
neighboring wireless networks in the area.
oAuto 20/40MHz (11n) or Auto 20/40/80MHz (11ac) –When this
setting is active, this mode is capable of providing higher performance
only if the wireless devices support the channel width settings.
Enabling Auto 20/40MHz or Auto 20/40/80 MHz typically results in
substantial performance increases when connecting an 802.11ac/n
wireless client.

Qualcomm® StreamBoost™
Basic > Qualcomm® StreamBoost™ > Bandwidth
StreamBoost™ Traffic Shaping technology allows your router to automatically classify
and identify each device and application and dynamically allocate the appropriate
amount of Internet bandwidth required to for each application to run optimally. To
enable StreamBoost™ under Bandwidth, check the Enable StreamBoost™ option and
define your maximum upload and download speeds based on the service provided by
your Internet Service Provider (ISP). You can also run an automatic Internet bandwidth
test using online sites such as http://www.speedtest.net or you can contact your ISP to
confirm the maximum bandwidth upstream and downstream limits of your Internet
service. The StreamBoost feature enabled by default and values set to 1,000 Mbps to
ensure you can take advantage of the automatic prioritization feature, however, for
best results especially in bandwidth monitoring, it is strongly recommended to input the
maximum downstream and upstream bandwidth to their accurate values by running an
Internet speed test using online tools such as http://www.speedtest.net or contacting
your ISP and requesting for the maximum bandwidth limits of your Internet service.
Enable StreamBoost
To enable StreamBoost (enabled by default):
1. Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page”
on page 9).
2. Click on Basic and click on Qualcomm® StreamBoost™.
3. In the Bandwidth page under the StreamBoost section, check the box to enable
StreamBoost.
Note: If available, enter the bandwidth limit values for downstream and upstream in
Mbps from the online speed test or from your ISP.
4. Click Apply to save the changes.
Note: It is an optional step to enable automatic StreamBoost updates and is not required
for the StreamBoost feature and functionality. By enabling automatic StreamBoost
updates, this will make sure that the StreamBoost feature on your router is able to
accurately identify and classify the latest released network devices (tablets, mobile
phones, computers, media players, etc.) and their running applications connected to
your network in order to assign the most optimal amount of bandwidth. StreamBoost
updates are downloaded directly from Qualcomm® Atheros, Inc.
.
To enable automatic StreamBoost updates, check the option Enable Automatic Update,
and click Apply.
