Connect your router
Power on your router and connect it to a modem.
To cable your cable modem router:
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 router into the same outlet.
2. Use a coaxial cable to connect the coaxial cable connector on the cable modem
router to the cable wall outlet.
We recommend connecting directly to the cable wall outlet. If you must share the
connection, use a 3.5dB (1 to 2) splitter.
3. Connect the power adapter to the cable modem router and plug the power adapter
into an electrical outlet.
4.
Wait for the Online LED to light solid white. This process might take up to 10 minutes.
Note: When the Online LED lights, your cable modem router is still not connected
to the Internet. You must activate your cable modem router with your ISP.
5. Connect your computer or mobile device to the Orbi cable modem router with WiFi
or Ethernet:
• WiFi. Use the WiFi network name (SSID) and password on the cable modem router
label to connect.
• Ethernet. Use an Ethernet cable to connect a computer to an Ethernet port on
the cable modem router. (The computer must have an Ethernet port.)
