Router Label The label on the bottom of the wireless-N modem router shows the router's MAC address, serial number, security PIN, and factory default login information. Figure 5 Positioning Your Wireless Router The wireless-N modem router has internal wireless antennas. For optimal wireless network performance, use the stand (included in the package) to position your wireless-N modem router upright with the NETGEAR logo at the top. This position also ensures proper heat dissipation and stability. The wireless-N modem 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 must pass through may limit the range. For best results, place your router: • Near the center of the area where your computers and other devices will operate, preferably within line of sight to your wireless devices. • Accessible to an AC power outlet and near Ethernet cables for wired computers.
