2. Connect a coaxial cable.
Use a coaxial cable to connect the coaxial cable connector on the modem router to the cable wall outlet. Make sure the cable is tightly connected.

We recommend connecting directly to the cable wall outlet. If you must share the connection, use a 3.5dB (1 to 2) splitter.

3. Connect the power adapter to the modem router and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet.

This process might take up to 10 minutes and the modem router might reset several times.

Note: When the Online LED lights, your modem router is still not connected to the Internet. You must activate your modem router with your ISP.

If after 10 minutes the LED is still not solid green, verify that the cable outlet is working, or call your ISP to make sure you have a connection.
