Positioning your wireless 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. • To ensure the best wireless signal, orient the three detachable antennas as shown in the drawing below. • Always update to the latest firmware. Visit the ASUS website at http://www.asus.com to get the latest firmware updates. 45° 45° 90° E8665_RT-N66W_QSG.indd 5 9/17/13 12:43:41 PM
