Computer Requirements
Personal computer with the following minimum system requirements (note that the minimum
requirements may vary by cable company):
An Ethernet card makes it possible for your computer to pass data to
and from the internet. You must have an Ethernet card and software
drivers installed in your computer. You will also need a standard
Ethernet cable to connect the Ethernet card to your cable modem.
The Universal Serial Bus is a high speed bus that enables your
computer to communicate simultaneously with a variety of
peripherals. However, if you have other peripherals that send and
receive a lot of information, such as speakers, printers or scanners,
we recommend using an Ethernet card to support this modem.
