What are the Requirements for Wireless Network Devices?

How Many Wireless Devices Can I Connect?

The gateway cable modem serves as a wireless access point (WAP). The WAP

on the gateway cable modem 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 gateway cable modem 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.
