General guidelines when using Modems as Repeaters:
•
The maximum bandwidth available to Modem 2 is limited to the maximum bandwidth
between the Gateway and Modem 1.
between the Gateway and Modem 1.
•
The maximum bandwidth through Modem 2 will be about ½ of the maximum
bandwidth over Powerline. Indeed you will be able to go about twice the distance
from the Gateway to Modem 1. For example, if the max Layer 2 bandwidth between
the Gateway and Modem 1 is 40 Mbps, then the max usable Layer 2 bandwidth
between Gateway 1 and Modem 2 will be about 20 Mbps.

7.3.12 VLAN Configuration
Figure 52 VLAN Configuration (Modem)
If the Gateway is set up for VLAN pass-through, Modems can now be configured for VLAN pass-
through by entering the VPID (VLAN Pass-Through ID) for the Modem. Ethernet packets from
devices connected to the Modem will be sent to the LAN port of the Gateway and tagged with the
Modem’s PLC (Powerline) MAC address (1a:00:3e:b0:19:17 ). Depending on whether the
