There are two ways to physically install the device. The first way is to place the device horizontally on a surface. The second way is to mount the device on a wall. The best place for the device tends to be in the center of your wireless network, within the scope of all your wireless devices. The device has four rubber feet on the bottom panel. Place the device on a surface level near an electrical outlet. The device has two mounting slots on the wall on the bottom panel. The distance between the grooves is 152 mm (6 inches). Determine where you want to mount the device. Make sure that wall that uses is smooth, flat, dry and tough. Also, make sure that the location is within reach of an electrical outlet. Drill two holes in the wall. Make sure that the holes are separated by 152 mm (6 inches). Insert a screw into each hole and leave 3 mm (0.12 inches) of his exposed head. Operate the device so that the wall-mount slots align with the two screws. Place the wall screws mounting slots and slide down until the screws fit into the wall-mount slots.

Encryption protects data transmitted over a wireless network. The Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA / WPA2) and Wired Equivalency Privacy (WEP) offer different levels of security for wireless communication. A network encrypted with WPA / WPA2 is more secure than a network encrypted with WEP because WPA / WPA2 uses dynamic key encryption. To protect the information as it passes through the waves, you must enable the highest level of encryption compatible with your network equipment. WEP is an older encryption standard and may be the only option available on some older devices that do not support WPA.
