Alternate Ways to Connect Your Coax Cable

As summarized in the Quick Start, one important connection is the coaxial
cable connection that carries your cable Internet service to your MT7711.
Here are the main ways you can make that connection:
1. Use the loose end of an available "live" coaxial cable from your cable
service provider. Plug the loose end into the Coax jack of your cable
modem.
2. If there's a "live" coax jack in your wall, connect a coax cable between
that jack and the Coax jack of your cable modem.
3. Use a "live" cable that's plugged into one of your televisions. If you still
want cable TV to go to that TV set, you can get a coaxial splitter and two
cables of the right length.

Connecting Devices to Your Cable Modem/Router

You can connect computers, smartphones, tablets, game consoles, security
cameras, streaming media devices (like Roku, Chromecast & AppleTV),
Internet-enabled HDTVs and other devices to your cable modem/router.
You can connect these devices either with an Ethernet cable (a wired
connection), or via WiFi (a wireless connection).
An Ethernet connection is normally a faster, more reliable connection than a
wireless connection. To make an Ethernet connection, you need a device
with an Ethernet connector and a cable to connect between that device and
your cable modem. In some cases, this may be impossible because of the
location of the devices. In those cases, or if the device doesn't have an
Ethernet connector, you will need to create a wireless connection as
described on the next page.
