automatically checks to see if your cable modem router can connect to your Internet

service.

to access the cable modem router and set up your cable modem router manually. Before

you start the setup process, get your ISP information and make sure that the computers

and devices in the network use the settings described here.

When your Internet service starts, your Internet service provider (ISP) typically gives you
