2. Installing the Modem Using Wireless
This chapter explains the process for installing your wireless cable modem using the wireless
feature. First you will install the hardware (wireless cable modem, wireless client (not
included), coax cable (not included), and power adapter).
Installing the Hardware
This section explains how to connect the wireless cable modem to the computer, wall cable
outlet, and electrical outlet. To install the hardware:
1. Power off the computer
2. Connect one end of the coaxial cable to the wireless cable modem’s cable connector.
Connect the other end of the coaxial cable to the cable wall outlet. Be sure not to bend
or over tighten the cables as this may strain the connector and cause damage. If you
plan to connect the wireless cable modem and television to the same wall outlet, you
must use a cable line splitter (not included).
3. Plug the wireless cable modem’s power adapter into the wireless cable modem’s
power jack and into an electrical outlet or surge protector.
4. Follow the installation and configuration instructions included with your wireless
client.
5. You are now ready to use your cable modem.
Troubleshooting the Wireless Installation
The WLAN LINK LED is not lit.
• Verify that your Wireless PC Card or Wireless USB client is properly connected to
your computer.
• Try positioning the computer closer to the wireless cable modem. The wireless signal
may be weaker after it has passed through metal, concrete, brick, walls, or floors.
Make sure that the wireless cable modem and wireless adapters are positioned so that
the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling for better reception. For
