peripherals, Bluetooth devices, cordless phones, transformers, heavy-duty motors,

uorescent lights, microwave ovens, refrigerators, and other industrial equipment to

prevent signal interference or loss.

• For the best front-to-rear coverage, place the wireless router in an upright position.

• For the best up-and-down coverage, place the wireless router in an inclined position.

• Always update to the latest rmware. Visit the ASUS website at
