Prepare to activate
Power up your cable modem. To do this, the On/Off button
needs to be On (Push the button in until it clicks). Wait for
the online connection light ( for 3.0, or for 3.1) to stop
flashing and remain solidly lit.
This may take up to 15
minutes.
Activate with your service provider
Some service providers allow you to activate by calling them.
Others, like Comcast Xfinity and Cox, prefer that you activate
by opening the Web browser of a computer that’s plugged
into the MB8611’s Ethernet port.
If you have a computer, plug it into the MB8611’s Ethernet
port. Once you've opened the computer’s browser, go to
your service provider’s web page. This should bring you
directly to the service provider's activation page. Follow the
onscreen instructions.
If you don’t have a computer, you can normally activate by
calling your service provider.
Another option is to first connect a WiFi router to the MB8611
as described on page 7 of this Quick Start. Then use the
browser of your smartphone, tablet, or other WiFi device to
go to your service provider’s web page, where you should
see an activation page’s onscreen instructions.
