Introduction
Welcome to the superfast Internet world of upc cablecom.
In the following, we will show you how to set up your WLAN modem correctly, and we
will give you tips how to improve wireless transmission.
For optimal wireless transmission, you require a wireless receiver that supports the wireless standard 802.11n. Older standards also work, but have a lower transmission capacity.
For details, please refer to chapter “Tips & Tricks”.
If your computer does not have a built-in wireless receiver, we recommend an external
WLAN USB stick.

2 Manual installation – modem cabling 1 Automatic installation from the Installer CD
(Windows & MAC)
If your computer does not have a CD/DVD drive, please follow the instructions for
manual installation described in the following section.
The installation is very simple with the Installer CD that comes with the Internet &
Phone Manual. This shows you how to correctly cable your WLAN modem step by step.
In addition, the Installer CD also establishes the wireless connection between the WLAN
modem and your computer and, with a Windows XP operating system, optimises the
settings used for Internet access.
The later Windows or Mac OS X operating systems have already been configured for
very high bandwidths and do not usually need to be adjusted.
Connect the WLAN modem and the cables as described. For manual installation, the
WLAN modem does not need to be connected to the computer.
