Cable broadband Internet service

Install and Activate Your Cable Modem

The cable modem provides a connection between your cable Internet provider’s network and your computer,
router, or WiFi router.

Connect Your Cable Modem to a Computer

After you install the cable modem and activate your Internet service, you can disconnect the computer and
connect a router to the cable modem.

Figure 5. Connect your cable modem to a computer

To connect your cable modem directly to a computer:

1.

Turn off and disconnect existing modems and routers.

If you are replacing a modem that is currently connected in your home, unplug the modem and plug the
new cable modem into the same outlet.

2.

Connect a coaxial cable.

Use a coaxial cable to connect the cable port on the cable modem to a cable wall outlet. Make sure that
the cable is tightly connected.
