Prepare to activate
Power up your cable modem/router. To do this, the On/Off
button needs to be On (Push the button in until it clicks). Wait
for the online connection light ( for 3.0, or for 3.1) to
stop flashing and remain solidly lit. This may take up to 15
minutes.
Activate with your service provider
Some service providers allow you to activate by calling them.
Others, like Comcast Xfinity and Cox, prefer that you activate
by opening the Web browser of a computer. It's best if the
computer is plugged into one of the MG8702's Ethernet ports,
but connecting with WiFi also works as discussed below.
Once you've opened the browser, go to your service provider's
web page. This should bring you directly to the service
provider's activation page. Note that some service providers
will automatically redirect you to their registration page when
you open your browser. Follow the onscreen instructions.
If you don't have a computer, you can use the Web browser of
a WiFi device such as a smartphone or tablet for activation. In
that case, you'll need the unique WiFi Network Name (SSID)
and WiFi Password printed on the bottom of your MG8702.
You'll use these in setting up your wireless device to wirelessly
connect to the MG8702. Once you've connected, you can open
the browser of that wireless device.
