1 Set up your Wi-Fi connection
Your DG9450 replaces both your modem and router to provide high-
speed wireless access to the Internet in a single device!
Use a coax cable to attach the cable port to your cable outlet or splitter,
then connect the power adapter to the power port, and plug it into an
AC power outlet.
The rst time you power on your DG9450, it may take 15-20 minutes to
download and upgrade its rmware.
To set up your personal device (computer, phone or tablet)
Connect your device Wi-Fi using the network name or
SSID (ARRIS-####) and the password (Wi-FiPWD)
shown on the security label on the bottom of your
DG9450.
Alternatively, you can use the included Ethernet cable to
connect to one of the yellow Ethernet ports.
If your device supports WPS (Wireless Protected Setup),
you can press the WPS button on the back of your
DG9450 and then activate WPS on your device to easily
connect your device.
For advanced options, proceed to step 2.
