If you require a longer LAN cable to mount the Gateway in a desired location, any standard Category 5 network cable will work, but a crossover cable may not work. Crossover cables designed to connect two computers without networking hardware may not work with your Gateway.

NOTE: Network cables usually have length limitations. The same length limitations will apply that apply to computers on your home network.

The Gateway sends weather forecasts to your Wireless Display over a maximum 330 ft. range. Walls and other obstructions between the Gateway and Wireless Display will affect the range. The Wireless Signal Icon will indicate the signal strength to let you know if your Gateway and Wireless Display are within range.
