Activate
For some service providers, you activate by calling them. Many service providers including Comcast
and Cox prefer that you activate by opening the Web browser of a computer that’s plugged into one of
the MG7540’s Ethernet ports.
If you don’t have a computer, you can use the Web browser of a Wi-Fi device such as a smartphone or
tablet. In that case you’ll need the unique Wireless Network Name and Password printed on the
bottom of your MG7540. You’ll use these in setting up your wireless device to connect to the MG7540.
Once you’ve connected, you can open the browser of that wireless device.
