  • 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.
  • To ensure the best wireless signal, orient the four non-detachable antennas as shown in the drawings below.
