To cable your modem router:

Use the coaxial cable that is provided by Comcast XFINITY to connect the cable port on
the modem router to a cable wall outlet.
Make sure that the cable is tightly connected.
4. Connect the power adapter to the modem router and plug the power adapter into an
electrical outlet.
Make sure that the Power On/Off button and the LED On-Off switch on the rear panel of

the Power LED lights green.
You can log in to the modem router to view or change its settings.
Cable Your Modem Router to a Router or Gateway
If you want to cable the modem router to a router or gateway, you must log in to the modem
router and change its Router Mode setting. Changing this setting prevents certain network
conflicts that can occur when two devices on the same network perform routing functions
such as network address translation (NAT) and DHCP (assigning IP addresses to devices on
the network).
