Figure 5. Connect your cable modem to a computer
To connect your cable modem directly to a computer:
1.
Turn off and disconnect existing modems and routers.
If you are replacing a modem that is currently connected in your home, unplug the
modem and plug the new cable modem into the same outlet.
2. Connect a coaxial cable.
Use a coaxial cable to connect the cable port on the cable modem to a cable wall
outlet. Make sure that the cable is tightly connected.
3. Connect the power adapter to the cable modem and plug the power adapter into
an electrical outlet.
When the startup is complete, the Power LED lights green. If the Power LED does
not light, press the Power On/Off button.

The cable modem comes online when the Internet LED stops blinking and lights
solid green.
This process might take up to 10 minutes.
