Connect a Router
After you set up your cable modem and activate your Internet service, you can
disconnect the computer and connect a router to the cable modem.
Note: Your cable modem comes with a plug that covers LAN port 2. You can
remove the plug to connect a router that supports Ethernet port aggregation. For
more information, see the cable modem’s user manual.
To connect a router to the cable modem:
1. Reboot the cable modem by unplugging the power cable from the
cable modem and plugging it back in.
2. Wait for the Online LED to stop blinking and light solid green.
3. Use an Ethernet cable to connect LAN port 1 on the cable modem to the
WAN or Internet port on the router.
4. Power on the router.
5. Wait until the router is ready.
6. Connect a computer to the router.
For more information about how to set up your router, see the documentation
that came with your router.
