2 Creating your network

Positioning your router

For the best wireless signal transmission between the wireless

router and the network devices connected to it, ensure that you:

• Place the wireless router in a centralized area for a maximum

wireless coverage for the network devices.

• Keep the device away from metal obstructions and away from

direct sunlight.

• Keep the device away from 802.11g or 20MHz only Wi-Fi

devices, 2.4GHz computer peripherals, Bluetooth devices,

cordless phones, transformers, heavy-duty motors, ﬂuorescent

lights, microwave ovens, refrigerators, and other industrial

equipment to prevent signal interference or loss.

• Always update to the latest ﬁrmware.Visit the ASUS website at

http://www.asus.com to get the latest ﬁrmware updates.

• To ensure the best wireless signal, orient the three detachable

antennas as shown in the drawing below.

• For optimum performance, please switch on the cooling

system.

What you need

To set up your network, you need one or two computers that meet

the following system requirements:

• Ethernet RJ-45 (LAN) port (10Base-T/100Base-TX/

1000BaseTX)

• IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac wireless capability

• An installed TCP/IP service

• Web browser such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, or

Google Chrome

NOTES:

• If your computer does not have built-in wireless capabilities,

you may install an IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WLAN adapter to

your computer to connect to the network.

• With its dual band technology, your wireless router supports

2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless signals simultaneously.This allows

you to do Internet-related activities such as Internet surﬁng or

reading/writing e-mail messages using the 2.4GHz band while

simultaneously streaming high-deﬁnition audio/video ﬁles

such as movies or music using the 5GHz band.

• If you are using only one computer with single band

IEEE 802.11b/g/n WLAN adapter, you will only be able to use

the 2.4GHz band.

• If you are using only one computer with dual band

IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WLAN adapter, you will be able to use

the 2.4GHz or 5GHz band.

• If you are using two computers with both

IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WLAN adapters, you will be able to use

both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands simultaneously.

• The Ethernet RJ-45 cables that will be used to connect the

network devices should not exceed 100 meters.

Setting up your wireless router

Wired connection

IMPORTANT!

• Use wired connection in setting up your wireless router to

avoid possible setup problems due to wireless uncertainty.

• Before setting up your ASUS wireless router, do the following:

• If you are replacing an existing router, disconnect it from

your network.

• Disconnect the cables/wires from your existing modem

setup. If your modem has a backup battery, remove it as

well.

• Reboot your computer (recommended).

NOTE: Your wireless router has an integrated auto-crossover

function, so use either straight-through or crossover cable for

wired connection.
