Setup Requirements
To set up your wireless network, you need a computer that meets
the following system requirements:
• Ethernet RJ-45 (LAN) port (10Base-T/100Base-TX/
1000BaseTX)
• IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac wireless capability
• An installed TCP/IP service
• Web browser such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, or
Google Chrome
NOTES:
If your computer does not have built-in wireless capabilities, you may
install an IEEE ±02.11a/b/g/n/ac WLAN adapter to your computer to
connect to the network.
With its dual band technology, your wireless router supports
2.4GHz
and 5GHz wireless signals simultaneously. This allows you to do
Internet-related activities such as Internet surfing or reading/writing
e-mail messages using the 2.4GHz band while simultaneously
streaming high-definition audio/video files such as movies or music
using the 5GHz band.
If you are using only one computer with single band
IEEE ±02.11b/g/n WLAN adapter, you will only be able to use the
2.4GHz band.
If you are using only one computer with dual band
IEEE ±02.11a/b/g/n/ac WLAN adapter, you will be able to use the
2.4GHz or 5GHz band.
If you are using two computers with both
IEEE ±02.11a/b/g/n/ac WLAN adapters, you will be able to use both
2.4GHz and 5GHz bands simultaneously.
The Ethernet RJ-45 cables that will be used to connect the network
devices should not exceed 100 meters.
