Connect your Cable Modem to a Computer
You must connect the cable modem directly to a computer during
the installation and activation. After installation and activation, you
can connect the cable modem to a router (see Connect Your Cable
Modem to a Router After Installation and Activation on page 13).

Note: Before you connect the cable modem and contact your cable
Internet service provider, you should have your cable account number,
account phone number, and login information (your email address or user
name and password) available.
How to connect your cable modem directly to a computer:
1. Turn off your existing modems and routers.
If you are replacing a modem that is currently connected in your
home, unplug that modem and plug the new cable modem into
the same outlet.
2. Connect the coax cable.
Use the coax cable provided in the package to connect the
CABLE port on the rear panel of the cable modem to a cable
wall outlet or a line splitter. Make sure that the cable connection
is hand-tightened to secure the connection.
