Your Hercules Wireless N Access Point has been designed to be simple to use and install.  If you are new to 
working with wireless products, we invite you to first follow the advice presented in chapters 2.1 to 2.3.
Otherwise, you can proceed directly to chapter 

, which explains how to install your Hercules Wireless N Access Point step by step. 

ƒ

Remove the access point and the power adapter from the box. 

ƒ

Screw the 2 included antennas onto the access point and place them in an upright position. 

To help you select the best spot to position your Hercules access point, we are pleased to offer you the 
following tips, which you may adapt according to your environment (the number of rooms, computers, floors in 
your home, the presence of any obstacles, the locations of power and telephone plugs…). 

ƒ

Position the access point near your modem (ADSL, cable or Internet “Box”) and a power outlet. 

ƒ

Try to place your access point in a room centrally located in relation to your other computers and WiFi 
devices. 

ƒ

Keep a minimum distance of 2m between the access point and any computers and WiFi devices. 

ƒ

If you have several computers or WiFi devices on different floors in your home (on the ground floor and 
the second floor, for example), you should ideally try to place your Hercules access point on the ground 
floor. 

 Your access point’s WiFi performance may be greatly affected by certain obstacles, such as the 

presence of paper (a bookcase), metal, water (an aquarium) or a wall made of reinforced concrete 
between the Hercules access point and any WiFi adapters. 

Moreover, do not hesitate to adjust the 2 antennas to different positions in order to achieve optimum 
reception of the WiFi signal.
