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.
