Connecting your devices

The Exede WiFi Modem supports both wired and wireless connections. Up to four wired
devices (computers, TVs and/or DVRs) may be connected directly to the modem using
Ethernet cables. Refer to your device manuals for more information.
Wireless devices can be connected via a wireless home network created using the Exede
WiFi Modem. This diagram shows a basic home network using a wireless router:
THE INTERNET
Other devices you may connect wirelessly include smart phones, TVs, security cameras
and thermostats.
A Word about Routers
Although routers are great at allowing multiple devices to access the internet, please be
aware that the devices are all still sharing a single internet connection. The more devices
using the router at the same time, the less available bandwidth (speed) you'll have. You'll
likely see data usage increase as you add more devices to your network, so keep an eye
on your usage and whether you are on the right Exede service plan for your needs.
