an open location, away from large metal objects and magnets
such as those found in speakers. Raising the Router above
floor level can improve the strength of your wireless signal.

Using the WPs button
1 Start WPS Push Button Connection (WPS PBC) on your
computer or other Wi-Fi device that you would like to connect
wirelessly to your Router. Often there will be a button for this
purpose in software that came with the device, or a physical
“WPS,” “PBC,” or “Security” button on the device itself.
2 Within two minutes, press the WPS button on
your Router and hold for two seconds.
The WPS light (small light above WPS button) will blink blue while it
listens for your Wi-Fi device. Once a connection is established, the
light will turn blue and then go out. If a connection is not established,
the light will blink amber. You may repeat the process to try again.
You can repeat this process for each WPS-enabled
device you’d like to add to your network.
When finished installing optional software, click
“Thanks, take me to the dashboard.”
Congratulations! You are now at your Router’s

Other factors that will cause signal degradation (metal is
generally the worst culprit) are obstructions such as walls
and metal appliances. Note also that connection speed may
decrease as you move farther away from the Router.
If the light on the front of the Router is solid blue, then your
Router is connected to the Internet. You may not be connected

Wireless Devices” on page 20 of this manual for instructions.
If your Windows XP computer is running SP2, you will
not be able to set up the Router via the wireless setup
process. You will need to either update to Windows XP
SP3 or complete the setup via a wired connection.
In order to determine if wireless issues are related to
range, we suggest temporarily moving the computer
within 10 feet from the Router if possible.
Changing the wireless channel—Depending on local
wireless traffic and interference, switching the wireless
channel of your network can improve performance and
reliability. See the section titled “Changing the Wireless
Channel” for instructions on how to choose other channels.

limiting the wireless transmit rate—Limiting the wireless transmit

cards have the ability to limit the transmission rate. To change this
property in Windows, go to the Windows Control Panel, open “Network
Connections”, and double-click on your wireless card’s connection. In

I’ve installed this new Router and some of my network clients
(computers, game consoles, etc ) are now unable to connect
Your new Router came pre-configured with a network name and
password, found printed on an attached card. All clients must use this
network name and password to connect wirelessly to your Router.
You will need to find the network settings on your client, select the
network name printed on the card from the list of available networks,
and enter the password when prompted to join the wireless network.
Wireless client cards are usually set to automatically adjust
the wireless transmit rate for you, but doing so can cause
periodic disconnects when the wireless signal is too weak; as
a rule, slower transmission rates are more stable. Experiment
with different connection rates until you find the best one
for your environment. Note that all available transmission
rates should be acceptable for browsing the Internet. For
more assistance, see your wireless card’s user manual.

received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
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 and
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Caution: exposure to Radio frequency Radiation
The radiated output power of this device is far below the FCC
radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the device shall be
used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during
normal operation is minimized. When connecting an external
antenna to the device, the antenna shall be placed in such a
manner to minimize the potential for human contact during normal
operation. In order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC
radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the antenna
shall not be less than 20cm (8 inches) during normal operation.

type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pourl’émetteur
par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de
brouillage radioélectriqueà l’intention des autres utilisateurs, il
faut choisir le type d’antenne et son gain de sorte que lapuissance
isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l’intensité
nécessaire àl’établissement d’une communication satisfaisante.
(i)les dispositifs fonctionnant dans la bande 5 150-5 250 MHz
sont réservés uniquement pour une utilisation à l’intérieur
afin de réduire les risques de brouillage préjudiciable aux
systèmes de satellites mobiles utilisant les mêmes canaux;
(ii) De plus, les utilisateurs devraient aussi être avisés que les
utilisateurs de radars de haute puissance sont désignés utilisateurs
principaux (c.-à-d., qu’ils ont la priorité) pour les bandes 5 250-5
350 MHz et 5 650-5 850 MHz et que ces radars pourraient causer
