software. If you receive a kit like this, we recommend that you read the kit's instructions
and use them to install your Zoom Cable Modem/Router. This modem is a DOCSIS 3.0
cable modem/router certified by CableLabs, and connects like a normal cable modem.
You will need to plug in the Cable Modem/Router's power cube, connect to cable modem
service using a coaxial cable, and then connect to a computer using either the included
Ethernet cable or the wireless feature.
Note: Please refer to the
diagram of the back of the Cable Modem/Router and a description of the connections.
You will probably need to take a plastic cap off the RF connector.
After you have installed your cable modem and it has synchronized itself with the cable
network, your cable modem can connect your computers, tablets, smartphones and
other Wi-Fi compatible or Ethernet-enabled devices to the Internet.
Note: It normally takes 5 to 30 minutes to establish an Internet link the first time a Cable
Modem/Router connects to a cable service provider. This allows the cable modem to
connect to the appropriate channels for communication. You'll see the DS, US, and/or
Online modem lights on your cable modem flashing until the Online light stays steady
green to signal success.
Now open the browser of a device connected through a cable or wirelessly to your
modem/router. If the browser works, your cable modem is working!

Your Cable Modem/Router comes from the factory with a default SSID (Wireless
Network Name), WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK wireless security and a random
Pre-Shared Key (Security Key/Password). These default settings for your
modem/router are listed on the bottom label of your unit. Most users can go
ahead and use the default settings. You may want to change the wireless
settings if you are replacing a wireless router and want to use the same wireless
network name and wireless password as the existing router instead of changing
all your wireless devices to use the Cable Modem/Router's defaults, or in the
unlikely event that one of the wireless devices only supports WEP security. If you
want to make changes to the default wireless settings, please refer to
Changing your Wireless
