Choose an installation location

There are a number of factors to consider when choosing a location to install your Cable
Modem:
■ Is an AC outlet available nearby? For best results, the outlet should not be switched and
should be close enough to the Cable Modem that extension cords are not required.
■ Is a cable jack available? For best performance, keep the number of splitters between
the jack and cable drop to a minimum. Each splitter attenuates (reduces) the signal
available to the Cable Modem. A large number of splitters can slow down the Internet
connection.
■ If you are connecting devices to the Ethernet ports, can you easily run cables between
the Cable Modem's location and those devices?
