Linksys CG7500 User Manual page 11

If you choose to manually set up the modem router, you will need to have the
following information available for activation:
• Account number of your broadband subscription
• Phone number linked with your account
• Serial number of the modem router (on the back of the unit)
• MAC address of the modem router (on the back of the unit)
To activate:
Open a web browser from a computer that's connected directly to the modem
router. This is where you will need the information above (account number of your
broadband service, phone number and new modem router device identifiers).
Some service providers have additional setup steps that will automatically appear
in the browser – if not, visit the appropriate link below. Follow the steps for your
internet provider or call them if you are unable to get online.
Note—The modem router may reboot several times during this process and
activation can take up to five minutes.
After activation, you should be able to connect to the internet wirelessly via your
modem router or a wired connection between your computer and the modem
router.
