Let’s get started
If you don’t have cable modem service, please order that from your cable service provider. Your
MB8600 supports DOCSIS 3.1, the fastest cable modem service standard. Your MB8600 also supports
all speeds of any DOCSIS 3.0 services.
Now connect your modem as shown on the next panel.
Connecting to a Coax Cable
On the next panel you’ll need to connect your modem to a “live” coax cable. Sometimes a cable will
already be available. Sometimes there’s a coax wall jack available, and you connect to the jack with a
coax cable. Your modem can also share a coax cable attached to a TV by using a coax splitter. Please
note that a splitter sometimes reduces a cable modem’s speed; so if you need to use a splitter, use a
2-way splitter whose top frequency is at least 1000 MHz.
