Let’s get started
1 Call your cable service provider to order cable Internet
service if you don’t already have it. Mention that your
MG8702 supports DOCSIS 3.1, the fastest cable modem
service standard. Your MG8702 also supports the top
speeds of any DOCSIS 3.0 services.
If you already have cable Internet service, you probably
don’t need to call your cable service provider. You should
have your account number handy in case you need it
during the activation process. You can generally find the
account number on the landing page when you log in to
your cable service provider account. You can also find it on
a recent cable bill.
2 If possible, use your smartphone to take a photo of the
label on the bottom of your cable modem. You’ll need
the photo later, so print it if possible.
3 Disconnect existing modems and routers, if any.
Now
connect your MG8702 as shown on the next page.
Connecting to a coax cable
See the connection photo on the next panel. Connect
your MG8702 to a “live” coax cable. Sometimes a cable
will already be available. Sometimes there’s a coax wall
jack available, and you connect to the jack with a coax
cable. Your MG8702 can also share a coax cable
attached to a TV by using a coax splitter. Please note
that a badly chosen splitter may reduce a cable modem's
speed or prevent connection to the network: if you need
to use a splitter, use a two-way splitter whose top
frequency is 1,000 MHz or higher.
