Section 2 - Installation

Using the USB Port

This section describes how to install the cable modem using the USB port. First you connect the hardware (cable modem and power

adapter). You then install the software drivers and verify that the modem is operating properly. The USB port does not support the

Macintosh

operating system. Using the USB port to connect to the Internet enables you to install the cable modem more quickly

and easily than connecting to the Internet using the computer's Ethernet port, because you do not have to remove the case from the

computer to install a network interface card (NIC). Using the USB port, however, enables you to connect only one computer to the

cable modem. See "Installing the Cable Modem Using the Ethernet Port" if you wish to install the cable modem using the Ethernet

port.

If you have or plan on purchasing a router, please refer to the "Using the Ethernet Port" section on page 11. You cannot use the USB

connection with a router.

Note: Do not plug the USB modem into an external USB hub. Plug directly to your computer.
