modem, you don’t have to install anything if you simply want to connect to the
Internet through the Ethernet (RJ-45) ports, assuming that your Modem has been
activated with the network. Simply connect your computer with the Modem using
the provided Ethernet (RJ-45) cable and you are ready to use the Internet.
