Positioning
Position your router on a at surface as unobstructed as possible, at least 3 ft (1m) from large metallic surfaces and
at least 3 ft (1m) from the oor. Do not place it inside a small closet or cabinet. Usually indoor spaces present fewer
obstruction to radio signals 6 ft from the oor or higher, as most furniture is located below 6 ft (2m)
To facilitate the positioning of the CR3000 you may consider utilizing an optional passive PoE adapter (injector + split-
ter) that allows the transfer of electricity from the power adapter to the router utilizing the same Ethernet cable that
connects the router to the Internet modem. Always exclusively use the included 5V adapter and do NOT utilize 802.11af
PoE switches or injectors.
Passive PoE for the CR3000 has been tested to operate properly with a Cat6 Ethernet cable 25 ft (7.5m) or shorter. Lon-
ger cables will induce loss of power and cause the router to operate inconsistently.
