Page21/25CHAPTER 3: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Frequently Asked Questions Q. How do I get the system installed? A. Professional installation from your cable provider is strongly recommended. They will ensure proper cable connection to the modem and your computer. However, your retailer may have offered a self installation kit, including the necessary software to communicate with your cable ISP. Q. Once my Wireless Gateway is connected, how do I get access to the Internet? A. Your local cable company provides your internet service*, offering a wide range of services including email, chat, and news and information services, and a connection to the World Wide Web. Q. It seems that the wireless network is not working A. Check the Wireless LED on the front panel. If it is no lighted, press on the WPS button shortly, less than 1 second, on the side of the modem, and then check again the Wireless LED. If it is lighted, then the Wireless transmission is enabled. Q. Can I watch TV, surf the Internet, and talk to my friends through the Wireless Gateway at the same time? A. Absolutely! Q. What do you mean by “Broadband?” A. Simply put, it means you’ll be getting information through a “bigger pipe,” with more bandwidth, than a standard phone line can offer. A wider, “broader” band means more information, more quickly. Q. What is DOCSIS and what does it mean? A. “Data over Cable Service Interface Specifications” is the industry standard that most cable companies are adopting as they upgrade their systems. Should you ever decide to move, the Wireless Gateway will work with all upgraded cable systems that are DOCSIS-compliant. Q. What is Xpress Technology and what does it mean? A. It is one of the popular performance-enhancing WiFi technologies, designed to improve wireless network efficiency and boost throughput. It is more efficient in mixed environments, and it can work with 802.11a/b/g networks. When Xpress is turned on, aggregate throughput (the sum of the individual throughput speeds of each client on the network) can improve by up to 27% in 802.11g-only networks, and up to 75% in mixed networks comprised of 802.11g and 802.11b standard equipment. The technology achieves higher throughput by re-packaging data, reducing the number of overhead control packets, so that more useful data can be sent during a given amount of time. * Monthly subscription fee applies. ** Additional equipment required. Contact your cable company and ISP for any restrictions or additional fees.
