2.2 Procedure for Hardware Installation
1. Decide Where to Place Your Wireless Broadband Router:
You can place your Wireless Broadband Router on a desk
or other flat surface, or you can mount it on a wall.
For optimal performance, place your Wireless Broadband
Router in the center of your office (or your home) in a
location that is away from any potential source of
interference, such as a metal wall or microwave oven.
This location must be close to power and
network connections.
2. Set up LAN connection:
a. Wired LAN connection: connect an Ethernet cable from
your computer's Ethernet port to one of the LAN ports
of this product.
b. Wireless LAN connection: make sure the antennae
