General Instructions

If your apartment has multiple outlets, you may need to hook them up to the internet connection from you incoming internet port, which is usually located in your media cabinet. The other outlets in your apartment act as an extension cord that runs inside the walls.

Based on your preference, you can either keep your router in the media cabinet or in the room where the outlet is located.

Note: If you keep your router in the media cabinet, your wifi experience may be negatively impacted.
