How Many Wireless Devices Can I Connect?

The cable modem gateway serves as a wireless access point (WAP). The WAP on the cable modem gateway provides wireless network service to multiple wireless network devices. Contact your cable service provider for more information on the maximum number of wireless network devices to connect to the cable modem gateway in order to maintain optimal network performance.

What are the Requirements for Wireless Networking?

It is important to view the characteristics of the entire network and not just each individual node. The theoretical distance between wireless network devices is 100 feet inside of a building, and 300 feet outdoors.

A number of factors can impact the practical limit of the network. Contact your cable service provider or consult the documentation for your wireless network devices for more information.

Wireless network service is not available on all models of the cable modem gateway.
