Installing and activating your modem

Locate a coaxial wall outlet. Here are a few things to consider when 

choosing the optimal location to install your Wi-Fi modem. It should 

be:

          •

  Central to the areas where you use the Internet most often

          •

  Close to devices you need to connect by wire, such as a phone

          •

  3 feet from the ground

          •

  In an open space, away from any obstacle that may block the  

          Wi-Fi signal such as wireless electronics, or materials like 

          metal, concrete, or mirrored surfaces.

Choose the central location of    
your living areas.

Important: 

While you are replacing your modem, your phone and Internet services will not be operational. We recommend 

you perform the procedure at a time when your phone and Internet services are not actively being used in your household.
