•
In multistory homes, place the Modem on an upper floor.
•
Try not to place the Modem near a cordless phone (MV400-series only).
2. Avoid Obstacles and Interference
Avoid placing your Modem near devices that may emit radio “noise,” such as
microwave ovens. Dense objects that can inhibit wireless communication include:
•
Refrigerators
•
Washers and/or dryers
•
Metal
cabinets
•
Large
aquariums
•
Metallic-based, UV-tinted windows
If your wireless signal seems weak in some spots, try to move the Modem to
another location while observing the signal strength indicator. Since you may not
know the location of an EV-DO radio base station serving your Modem, try to call
your service provider and ask for the nearest base station of your home. Try
placing the Modem closest and unobstructed to that base station.
