Be sure to follow the instructions provided for the port that you want to use.
Using the USB port allows you to install the cable modem faster and easier than using the ethernet
port, because you do not have to install and configure a network interface card (NIC).
USB, however, only enables you to connect one computer to the cable modem. Using the ethernet
port allows you connect multiple computers to a cable modem through the use of additional
equipment that is not included. Please contact your cable service provider for more information
on using multiple computers.

NOTE: The cable modem’s USB setup does not support the Macintosh

CAUTION: You should run the “Setup.exe” program first before you connect the USB cable
to the PC.
