Hardware Installation

This section will walk you through the installation process. Placement of the wireless router
is very important. Do not place the router in an enclosed area such as a closet, cabinet or in
the attic or garage.

Wireless Installation Considerations

Designed to go up to 100 meters indoors and up to 300 meters outdoors, the wireless router
lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the
operating range of your wireless network. However, the number, thickness and location of
walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the
signal range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background radio
frequency (RF) noise in your home or business. To maximize the wireless range of the
router, pay attention to the following basic guidelines:
 Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the RGX4400 router and other
network devices to a minimum.
 Be aware of the direct line between network devices. Position devices so that the
signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better
reception.
 Building materials make a difference. Try to position the wireless Router so that the
signal passes through drywall or open doorways.
 Keep your product away from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.
 Place the Router on a shelf or desktop. Ideally, you should be able to see the LED
indicators in the front, as you may need to view them for troubleshooting.
 For connection between the wireless Router and a computer, hub, router or switch,
the Ethernet cable should be shorter than 100m.
 Do not place this device on an unstable surface or support. Do not put this device on
the ground.
 Keep the device clean. Avoid exposure to direct sunshine. Avoid any metal on the
device.
