Your new cable modem provides high-speed access to the Internet by an active Internet connection
through your cable service provider. This user guide describes how to set up and use the cable modem.
Before installing the cable modem, you should read this user guide to ensure proper cable modem
operation.
1.1 Features
Your cable modem has the following features to help you access the Internet:
•
Two-way design allows the cable modem to send and receive data over the cable television
network.
•
Cable bandwidth allows data rates of up to 160 megabits per second (Mbps)*, which is faster than
traditional DOCSIS 2.0 cable modems, integrated services digital network (ISDN), or asymmetric
digital subscriber line (ADSL).
•
Using your cable line means that the cable modem is always on, always connected, and does not
tie up your phone line.
•
Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS™) compliance ensures interoperability
with DOCSIS compliant cable operators.
*NOTE: The following causes may affect the connection speed.
Computer specification, including available RAM space and processor speed.

Network traffic depending on the time of day.
Limitations set by your Cable Service Provider.
