WARNING:

Hazardous electrical voltages can be present on any connected wiring. Ethernet wiring and connections must be properly insulated to prevent electrical shock. Disconnect power from the cable modem gateway before attempting to connect to any device.

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

CAUTION:

To prevent possible damage to the equipment, disconnect any other service before connecting your cable modem gateway to other devices.

To install wireless network devices

Read the warnings and caution on this page. Then, follow the subsequent installation procedures to ensure proper cable modem gateway operation when using 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?, earlier in this guide.

2.Connect and install the wireless network device(s).

3.Connect the active RF coaxial cable to the CABLE IN 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 adapter cord into the DC power connector on the back of the cable modem gateway, and then plug the power adapter into an AC power source. The cable modem gateway begins an automatic search to locate and sign on to the network that provides the telephone service. This process may take up to 5 minutes. The cable modem gateway is ready for use when the CABLE status indicator on the front panel stops blinking and illuminates continuously.

Some 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. You will not be able to check the wireless front panel status indicator on the cable modem gateway until after one or more wireless network devices are communicating with the cable modem gateway.
