Installing and Connecting Your

Wideband Cable Modem

Before you start, make sure that:

You have contacted your cable company and verified that they provide data

service using standard DOCSIS 3.0 technology.

You have all the 

Items You Need

.

Cable and power outlets are available near the computer. If a cable outlet is

not conveniently located, your cable company can install a new one.

For best performance, use high-quality RG-6 type coax cable and minimize

or  eliminate  splitters  between  the  cable  jack  and  the  Wideband  Cable

Modem.

Note

:

To prevent overheating your Wideband Cable Modem, do not block the

ventilation holes on the unit. 

If you have ordered service, your cable company should configure the Wideband

Cable Modem automatically. You need only follow the instructions in this section to

install and connect the Wideband Cable Modem.
