After you determine the distance and coverage area, calculate the approximate
bandwidth requirements for the satellite, or in a point-to-multipoint setup, for each
satellite. Base the physical location of a satellite on those calculations so that the
throughput and coverage area are realistic.
You can use the local browser UI to configure the distance, transmit power, and channel
mode to achieve optimum coverage and throughput. For more information, see the
user manual, which you can download by visiting netgear.com/support/download/.
