Now that your cable modem is connected, do this.
When your cable modem first connects to your cable service provider, allow 5 to 30
minutes for the cable modem to connect to the network. The cable modem uses this time
to locate and connect to the appropriate channels for communication. You’ll see the DS
(downstream), US (upstream), and Online modem lights flashing until the Online light
stays steady green to signal success. (Blue US/DS LEDs indicate channel bonding.)
