Please Note: You must connect the cable modem directly to a computer during the installation and activation. After installation and activation, you can connect the cable modem to a router.

Connecting the modem to your computer.

A. Turn off the computer to which you intend to connect the cable modem.

NOTE: Even though an Internet connection is established, you will need to activate your modem on your Internet service with your Cable Internet provider. See Step 5 below.

STEP 5
Activate your modem.

A. Once your modem connection is established, many larger Internet Service Providers such as Comcast XFINITY have automatic activation via a downloadable App. Activation is finished when your four LEDs are solid GREEN.
