How Do I Select and Place Ethernet Network Devices?
You can use a large variety of Ethernet network devices with your gateway cable modem. These include NIC
cards, hubs, bridges, etc. Contact your cable service provider or consult the documentation for your Ethernet
network devices for more information on configuring Ethernet network devices.
Where is the Best Location for My Ethernet Network Devices?
You should work with your cable service provider to choose the best location for
your Ethernet network devices. Consider these recommendations:
• Location of two-way cable outlets
• Distance of the Ethernet network devices from the gateway cable modem
• Location of computers and other equipment from AC power outlets
• Ease of running Ethernet cable to the Ethernet network devices
Now that you have selected a location for your Ethernet network devices, the
next step is to place and connect your Ethernet network devices. Go to How Do I
