Position your wireless router

For optimal wireless transmission between the wireless router and connected wireless devices, ensure that you:

• Keep the wireless router 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.
• Always update to the latest firmware. Visit the ASUS website at http://www.asus.com to get the latest firmware updates.
