Connect to the Modem Router

During and after installation, you can connect to the modem router's network through a wired or WiFi
connection. If you set up your computer to use a static IP address, change the settings of your computer
so that it uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

Connect to the Modem Router Through an Ethernet Cable

You can connect your computer to the modem router using an Ethernet cable and join the modem router's
local area network (LAN).
To connect your computer to the modem router with an Ethernet cable:
1. Make sure that the modem router is receiving power (its Power LED is lit).
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to an Ethernet port on your computer.
3. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to one of the numbered Ethernet ports.
Your computer connects to the local area network (LAN). A message might display on your computer
screen to notify you that an Ethernet cable is connected.

iPhone, an iPad, another mobile device, or a gaming device to the WiFi network of the modem router.
