Let's Get Started - Motorola MT8733 Quick Start Manual

Let's get started

If you don't have cable Internet service, please order that from your cable
service provider. Comcast Xfinity customers should also order phone service
if they want to use the MT8733 phone lines. This phone capability works for
Xfinity, but not for most other cable services.
If you already have an installed cable modem/router, simply disconnect your
current modem and connect the MT8733, making sure to use the power
supply provided with the MT8733. Reconnect the existing coax cable and
any other appropriate cables as described on page 3. Then activate as
described starting on page 4.
Connect your MT8733 as shown on page 3.
Connecting to a Coax Cable
Please see the connection photo on the next panel. You
connect your MT8733 to a "live" coax cable. Sometimes a
cable will already be available. Sometimes there's a coax
wall jack available, and you connect to the jack with a coax
cable. Your MT8733 can also share a coax cable attached to
a TV by using a coax splitter. Please note that a badly chosen
splitter reduces a cable modem's speed; so if you need to use
a splitter, use a 2-way splitter whose top frequency is 1,000
MHz or higher.
