Install and Activate Your Cable Modem
The cable modem provides a connection between your cable Internet provider’s network
and your computer, router, or WiFi router.
Connect Your Cable Modem to a Computer
After you install the cable modem and activate your Internet service, you can disconnect
the computer and connect a router to the cable modem.
To connect your cable modem directly to a computer:
1. Turn off and disconnect existing modems and routers.
If you are replacing a modem that is currently connected in your home, unplug the
modem and plug the new cable modem into the same outlet.
2. Connect a coaxial cable.
Use a coaxial cable to connect the cable port on the cable modem to a cable wall
outlet. Make sure that the cable is tightly connected. We recommend that you connect
your cable modem directly to a cable wall outlet.
If you must share the connection, use a 3.5dB (1 to 2) splitter.
3. Connect the power adapter to the cable modem and plug the power adapter into
an electrical outlet.
The cable modem might reset multiple times when it is powered on.

4. Wait for the cable modem to come online.
The cable modem comes online when the Internet LED stops blinking and lights
solid white. This process might take up to 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, if the Online LED doesn’t light solid, make sure that the cable outlet
is working or call your Internet service provider (ISP) to make sure you have service.
Note: When the Online LED lights solid, your cable modem is not connected to the
Internet yet. You must connect a router or computer to your cable modem and then
activate your cable modem with your cable Internet provider.
5. Connect a router to your cable modem.
a. Connect the LAN port on the cable modem to the WAN or Internet port on the
router.
b. Your cable modem comes with two plugs that cover the Ethernet 1 and Ethernet
2 ports. You can remove the plugs to connect a router that supports Ethernet
port aggregation. For more information, see Ethernet Port Aggregation on page
17.
c. Power on the router.
d. Connect your computer or mobile device to the router.
6. Reboot the computer.
