Where Is the Best Location for My Cable Modem?

Where Is the Best Location for My Cable Modem?
The ideal location for your cable modem is where it has access to outlets and other
devices. Think about the layout of your home or office, and consult with your
service provider to select the best location for your cable modem. Read this user
guide thoroughly before you decide where to place your cable modem.
Consider these recommendations:
Position your PC and cable modem so that they are located near an AC power
outlet.
Position your PC and cable modem so that they are located near an existing cable
input connection to eliminate the need for an additional cable outlet. There
should be plenty of room to guide the cables away from the modem and the PC
without straining or crimping them.
Airflow around the cable modem should not be restricted.
Choose a location that protects the cable modem from accidental disturbance or
harm.
