To replace an existing modem, follow these instructions:
1. If your existing modem has a cable (or cables) plugged
into Ethernet/LAN or WAN port(s), unplug it/them and
transfer to the corresponding LAN/WAN port(s) on your
new modem. (Note: Ethernet/LAN ports are yellow.)
2. If you have a phone line(s) plugged into your existing
modem, unplug it/them and transfer it to the DSL/DSL1
port(s) on your new modem.
3. Unplug the power cord from your existing modem and
the wall. Then, plug your new modem in using your new
power cord (included in the box).
4. Your modem will automatically begin its 3- to 5-minute
setup process. The Internet light on your new modem will
make three progressions: blinking green, solid red, and
solid green. Once your Internet and Wi-Fi lights are solid
green, your new modem is successfully set up.
If there’s a return-mailing label in the box you received, use
it to return your previous modem (and its power cord) to
TDS
®
. If a mailing label is not included, responsibly dispose
of your previous modem.

navigate to the list of available Wi-Fi networks and
