Setting up a Wi-Fi network connection
ARRIS recommends that you first verify that your client device (computer or laptop) can
connect to the Internet using a wired Ethernet connection before configuring your Wi-Fi
home network.
You must currently have access to an Internet service in your home before you can set up a
Wi-Fi network connection. Please note that if you do not have Internet service already set
up in your home, contact Comcast Customer Support at 1-855-OK-BEGIN 1-855-652-3446for
assistance. Before proceeding, make sure your client device and the SVG2482AC are
connected through an Ethernet connection.
