• Away from any large metal surfaces, such as a solid metal door or aluminum studs. Large
expanses of other materials such as glass, insulated walls, fish tanks, mirrors, brick, and
concrete can also affect your wireless signal.
Installing Your Wireless Router
You can set up your wireless router using one of two methods: Smart Wizard or Manual Setup.
Smart Wizard Setup
The Smart Wizard walks you through the steps required to connect your router and PC(s);
configure your internet settings; configure your wireless settings; and enable wireless security for
your network.
• This is the easiest option, and takes about 20 minutes to complete. The wizard guides you
through the setup process. It automates many of the steps and verifies that the steps have been
successfully completed.
• Smart Wizard requires a PC running Microsoft Windows.
To set up your router using the Smart Wizard:
Note: Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance
degradation or an inability to wirelessly connect to the Internet.
Note: If you have a Linux system, you need to use the manual installation method
(see “Connecting Your Wireless Router” on page 1-7 and “Setting Up Your
Router for Internet Access” on page 1-9).
Note: Before running the Smart Wizard on a corporate PC to set up your
home router, check with your company’s network support staff.
Corporate network settings or Virtual Private Network (VPN) client
software may conflict with the default settings of a home router. If you
are unsure about whether there might be a conflict, use a different
computer.
