2.3. Step 2: How to connect your modem router

2.3.1. Uninstalling your old modem or disabling the automatic
connection to your old modem
If you have already installed a USB or Ethernet ADSL modem on your computer and you no
longer wish to use your old modem, we recommend that you uninstall it, as explained below. If you do
not wish to uninstall it, you will have to disable the automatic connection to that modem. The
objective of this procedure is to establish the Internet connection via the local area TCP/IP network
created by the Hercules Modem Router, and no longer directly via your old ADSL modem.
If you have never installed a modem before, however, you can skip ahead directly to chapter
2.3.3. Installing a filter (recommended).
If you do not intend to use the modem furnished by your service provider
anymore:
