Actiontec 54 Mbps Wireless DSL Gateway User Manual
Can my wireless signal pass through floors, walls, and glass?
The physical environment around the Gateway can have a varying effect on
wireless signal strength and quality. The more dense an object, the greater the
interference. Concrete or metal reinforced structures will cause a higher degree
of signal loss than those made of wood, plaster, or glass.
I have an Apple computer that uses the Airport wireless device. Is this
device compatible with the Gateway?
Yes, the Apple Airport system complies with the 802.11b and 802.11g standards.
If you use the security feature, refer to the Apple Airport documentation

do to make it work in both places?

Password, User name, IP addressing, and any other specific settings used by your

cally switch between different configurations.
