Where Is the Best Location for My DOCSIS Residential
Gateway?
The ideal location for your residential gateway is where it has access to outlets and
other devices. Think about the layout of your home or office, and consult with your
service provider to select the best location for your residential gateway. Read this
user guide thoroughly before you decide where to place your residential gateway.
Consider these recommendations:
Position your PC and residential gateway so that they are located near an AC
power outlet.
Position your PC and residential gateway so that they are located near an
existing cable input connection to eliminate the need for an additional cable
outlet. There should be plenty of room to guide the cables away from the modem
and the PC without straining or crimping them.
Airflow around the residential gateway should not be restricted.
Choose a location that protects the residential gateway from accidental
disturbance or harm.
