Where Is the Best Location for My Wireless Home
Gateway?
The ideal location for your wireless home 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 wireless home gateway.
Read this user's guide thoroughly before you decide where to place your wireless
home gateway.
Consider these recommendations:
Position your PC and wireless home gateway so that they are located near an AC
power outlet.
Position your PC and wireless home 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 wireless home gateway should not be restricted.
Choose a location that protects the wireless home gateway from accidental
disturbance or harm.
