2.2.2  Cleanliness 
Dust poses a significant risk to the operational safety of the device. When indoor dust accumulates on the device, 
it can lead to electrostatic adsorption and result in poor contact. This not only affects the lifespan of the device, 
but also increases the likelihood of communication failures. The risk of electrostatic adsorption increases when 
the indoor relative humidity is low. 
The following table describes the requirements for the dust content and granularity.

(number of 
particles/m3) 
 
In  addition  to  dust,  the  device  also  has  specific  requirements  on  the  presence  of  harmful  gases  such  as 
hydrochloric acid sulfides in the air at the installation site. These gases can cause accelerated corrosion of 
metals and aging of certain components. The table below displays the specific limits for harmful gases including

2.2.3  ESD Protection Requirements 
The RG-EW3000GX PRO router is designed with rigorous anti-static procedures during circuit design. However, 
excessive static electricity can still cause damage to its circuit board. Static electricity in the communication 
network connected to the device mainly originates from two sources: 
  Outdoor high-voltage transmission lines, lightning and other external electric fields; and 
  Internal systems such as indoor flooring materials and overall structure of the device. 
To prevent damage caused by static electricity, please pay attention to the following: 
  Keep the indoor installation environment clean and free of dust. 
  Maintain appropriate temperature and humidity. 
2.2.4  Anti-interference 
Anti-interference  measures  primarily  target  electromagnetic  and  current  interferences.  The  following 
requirements should be considered to ensure effective mitigation of interference: 
  Take effective measures to prevent interference from power grid to the power supply system.
