We install the basic configuration…
For the installation, choose a free space...
Before the installation you should considerhow you can connect your devices such as computer, tablet, laptop, TV, etc. tothe modem. Below we summarise 4 possible solutions, but you may not need all of them.
With Wi-Fi
You can connect most of your devices, such as computer, laptop, tablet, TV, etc., to the modem using Wi-Fi. You will not need an internet cable for this.
With Wi-Fi boosters
Are your devices too far away to get a good Wi-Fi connection with the modem? Then expand your Wi-Fi network using Wi-Fi boosters.
With an internet cable
Do you want a stronger signal for some of your devices? Then connect your device directly to the modem using an internet cable.
Tip: Do you have a BASE TV box? Then we recommend connecting this to the modem using the supplied internet cable. That way, you can be sure you get the best quality!
With embedded internet cables
Some houses have internet cables embedded within the walls. You then connect the modem via an internet cable to a UTP wall socket in one room. And then you connect your device using a cable to a UTP wall socket in the other room. You lay the cable yourself or have an electrician do this for you.
