Installing Wireless Network Devices
Follow these steps to install the cable modem gateway for accessing wireless
network devices.
1 Select locations for wireless network devices. For more information, see How Do
I Select and Place Wireless Network Devices? (on page
40).
2 Connect and install the wireless network device(s).
3 Connect the active RF coaxial cable to the CABLE connector on the back of the
cable modem gateway. Use an optional cable signal splitter to add a TV, a DHCT
or set-top converter, or a VCR.
4 After all connections are complete, insert the AC power cord into the POWER
connector on the back of the cable modem gateway, and then plug the power
cord into an AC power source. The cable modem gateway begins an automatic
search to locate and sign on to the network. In some unusual circumstances, this
process may take up to 5 minutes. The cable modem gateway is ready for use
when the ONLINE LED status indicator on the front panel stops blinking and
illuminates continuously.
Note: Some 2.4 GHz cordless telephones can interfere with wireless signals.
Unplug and disconnect any cordless phones until your wireless network is
operating properly.
5 Verify that all wireless network devices are working properly.
