If You Want to Connect a Router This connection is optional, done after the cable modem is activated. A wireless router lets multiple devices (computers, smartphones, tablets, video devices, game stations...) share your cable modem's Internet connection, either wirelessly or through a direct Ethernet connection. 1. The cable modem and the router should both be powered off. 2. Plug the cable modem's Ethernet cable into the router's WAN port. (You may need to disconnect the cable from your computer first.) 3. Power-up the cable modem. Wait for the ONLINE light to be solidly lit. 4. Power-up the router. Wait for the router to complete its power-up sequence. 5. The LAN light on your modem should be lit to show the Ethernet connection to your router. Follow your router's instructions for setting up the router and connected devices. Using a computer or other device connected to the router, try connecting to the Internet. If it works, Congratulations! Installation is complete.
