Prepare Your Area for Wireless Cable Modem Installation
Before installing your wireless cable modem, you should first prepare your area. To do this:
1)
Locate your cable outlet and ensure that it is located within proper distance of your
wireless cable modem and computer. Be sure not to bend the cable as this may strain the
connector and cause damage.
2)
Place wireless cable modem as high as possible. Allow sufficient airflow around the
wireless cable modem to prevent overheating.
3)
Place wireless cable modem and wireless clients in open areas or far away from
transformers, heavy-duty motors, microware ovens, refrigerators, fluorescent lights, and other
manufacturing equipment.
4)
Ensure that the temperature in the room where the wireless cable modem will be
operating is between 0 and 40C (32 and 104F)
5)
The wireless signal may be weaker after it has passed through metal, concrete, brick,
walls, or floors. Also, make sure that the wireless cable modem and wireless adapters are
positioned so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling for better reception. For
example, a wall that is 1 foot thick, at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 2 feet thick.
