Wireless data connections

The type of connection your modem establishes depends on:

• The type of modem

• The type of service(s) available from your service provider

• The networks available in your current coverage area

Your modem always uses the fastest service available to it in a given area. The

icons on the main Watcher window indicate the type of service that is currently

available and the connection status of your modem.
