MOUNTING ON A HORIZONTAL SURFACE
To keep the Wireless Broadband Router from sliding on the surface, the
Wireless Broadband Router has four rubber feet on the bottom of the unit.
It is recommended to select an uncluttered area on a sturdy surface, such
as a desktop or table. The unit can also be protected by securing all
attached cables to a table leg or other nearby fixed structure.
GATEWAY MODE CONNECTIONS
In its default Gateway Mode, the Wireless Broadband Router forwards
traffic between an Internet connected cable or ADSL modem, and wired or
wireless PCs or notebooks. The basic connections are illustrated in the
figure below.
