To install wireless network devices
Read the warnings and caution on this page. Then, follow the subsequent
installation procedures to ensure proper gateway cable modem operation when
using wireless network devices.
Follow these steps to install the gateway cable modem 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, earlier in this
guide.
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 gateway cable modem. 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 adapter cord into
the DC POWER connector on the back of the gateway cable modem, and
then plug the power adapter into an AC power source. The gateway
cable modem begins an automatic search to locate and sign on to the
network that provides the telephone service. In some unusual
circumstances, this process may take up to 5 minutes. The gateway
cable modem is ready for use when the CABLE status indicator on the
front panel stops blinking and illuminates continuously.
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.

To avoid personal
injury, follow these
steps in the exact
order shown.

any other service
before connecting
your gateway cable
