Getting to know your router
This chapter explains how to set up your hardware. If you have already set up your N300R
router, you can skip this chapter. Chapter 2 explains how to set up your Internet connection.

N300 WiFi Router (N300R)
Unpack Your Router
Open the box and remove the router, cables, and installation guide.
Ethernet cableN300 WiFi Router Power adapter
Figure 1. Check the package contents
Your box contains the following items:
• N300 WiFi Router (N300R)
• AC power adapter (plug varies by region)
• Category 5 (Cat 5) Ethernet cable
• Installation guide with cabling and router setup instructions
If any parts are incorrect, missing, or damaged, contact your On Networks dealer. Keep the
carton and original packing materials in case you need to return the product for repair.
Position Your Router
The router lets you access your network from virtually anywhere within the operating range of
your wireless network. However, the operating distance or range of your wireless connection
can vary significantly depending on the physical placement of your router. For example, the
thickness and number of walls the wireless signal passes through can limit the range. For
best results, place your router:
• Near the center of the area where your computers and other devices operate and
preferably within line of sight to your wireless devices.
• So it is accessible to an AC power outlet and near Ethernet cables for wired computers.
• In an elevated location such as a high shelf, keeping the number of walls and ceilings
between the router and your other devices to a minimum.

• Away from electrical devices that are potential sources of interference. Equipment that
might cause interference includes ceiling fans, home security systems, microwaves,
PCs, the base of a cordless phone or 2.4 GHz cordless phone.
• 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.
When you use multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different radio
frequency channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel spacing between
adjacent access points is 5 channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 6, or 6 and 11).
Hardware Features
Before you cable your router, take a moment to become familiar with the front, side, and back
panels and the label. Pay particular attention to the LEDs on the front panel.
