2. INSTALLING YOUR HERCULES WIRELESS N ROUTER

Your Hercules Wireless N Router has been designed to be simple to use and install. If you are new to
working with wireless products, we invite you to first follow the advice presented in chapters 2.1 to 2.3.
Otherwise, you can proceed directly to chapter
Assistant, which explains how to install your Hercules Wireless N Router step by step.

2.1. How to position your Hercules Wireless N Router

Remove the router and the power adapter from the box.
To help you select the best spot to position your Hercules router, we are pleased to offer you the following
tips, which you may adapt according to your environment (the number of rooms, computers, floors in your
home, the presence of any obstacles, the locations of power and telephone plugs...).
Position the router near your modem (ADSL, cable or Internet "Box") and a power outlet.

 Try to place your router in a room centrally located in relation to your other computers and WiFi devices.
Keep a minimum distance of 2m between the router and any computers and WiFi devices.

If you have several computers or WiFi devices on different floors in your home (on the ground floor and

the second floor, for example), you should ideally try to place your Hercules router on the ground floor.
Your router's WiFi performance may be greatly affected by certain obstacles, such as the presence
of paper (a bookcase), metal, water (an aquarium) or a wall made of reinforced concrete between the
Hercules router and any WiFi adapters.
