Position Your WiFi Cable Data Gateway
The cable data gateway lets you access your network from anywhere within the operating
range of your WiFi network. However, the operating distance or range of your WiFi
connection can vary significantly depending on the physical placement of your cable data
gateway. For example, the thickness and number of walls the WiFi signal passes through can
limit the range.
For best results, place your cable data gateway according to the following guidelines:
•
Place your cable data gateway on an upper floor of a multifloor home or office.
•
Place your cable data gateway near the center of the area where your computers and
other devices operate, and within line of sight to your WiFi devices.
•
Make sure that the cable data gateway is within reach of an AC power outlet and near
Ethernet cables for wired computers.
•
Place the cable data gateway in an elevated location, minimizing the number walls and
ceilings between the cable data gateway and your other devices.
•
Place the cable data gateway away from electrical devices such as these:
-
Ceiling fans
-
Home security systems
-
Microwaves
-
Computers
-
Base of a cordless phone
-
