How Do I Select and Place Wireless Network Devices?
 
You can use a large variety of wireless network devices with your gateway cable modem. These include 
computers, PDAs, etc. On the wireless network, all devices impact the characteristics of the network, because 
each device transmits a wireless signal. Contact your cable service provider or consult the documentation for your 
wireless network device for more information on selecting the appropriate wireless network devices for your home 
or office network. 
Where is the Best Location for My Wireless Network Devices? 
You should work with your cable service provider to choose the best location for 
your wireless network devices. Consider these recommendations: 
•  Distance from the gateway cable modem to the wireless network devices. 
•  Do not place the gateway cable modem near metallic surfaces that may 
block the wireless communications path. Wireless communication is “line-of-
sight” through non-metallic walls. However, the more structures (walls) the 
signal must pass through, the weaker the received signal. 
•  Do not place wireless network devices near a microwave oven. When 
operating, microwave ovens can interfere with wireless transmissions. 
•  Do not place your wireless network devices near 2.4 GHz wireless 
telephones because these telephones may also cause interference with your 
wireless network. 
Now that you have selected a location for your wireless network devices, the next 
step is to place and install your wireless network devices. Go to How Do I Install
