! CAUTION! Be sure to read this entire User’s Manual from front to back in
sequence before installing the Hitron™ “Broadband
Residential Cable Modem Gateway” BRG-35302 / BWA-35302.
This chapter provides an overview of how to install the cable modem using the USB port. First
you connect the hardware (cable modem, power adapter). You then install the software drivers
and verify that the modem is operating properly.
The USB port does not support the Macintosh operating system.
Using a USB port to connect to the Internet enables you to install the cable modem more
quickly and easily than connecting to the Internet using the computer’s Ethernet port, because
you do not have to remove the case from the computer to install a network interface card (NIC).
Using a USB port, however, enables you to connect only one computer to the cable modem.
