10 Install Your XOHM Modem
Connect to your router or network
Once you have set up your XOHM Modem and confirmed your web connection, you
can set up your router or network as needed.
1.
Consult your router’s documentation for setup details.
2.
Disconnect the Ethernet cable from your computer and connect it to the router’s
Internet
port. (It will go directly from the XOHM Modem’s LAN 1 port to the router.)
3. Connect an Ethernet cable from the router to your computer.
4.
Make sure the modem’s LAN 1 indicator is illuminated and test connectivity by
launching the web browser. If you are having difficulties, double-check your
router’s settings.
Note Be sure to keep a minimum distance of 1 foot between the XOHM Modem and your Wi-Fi
router to avoid signal interference.
Tip For added security, you may wish to change your modem password after setting up your
router. See “Access the advanced settings menu” on page 14 for more information.
