Prepare to activate
Power up your cable modem/router. 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. It’s best if the computer is plugged into
one of the MG8702’s Ethernet ports, but connecting with WiFi also
works as discussed below.
Once you've opened the 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 use the Web browser of a WiFi
device such as a smartphone or tablet for activation. In that case, you’ll
need the unique WiFi Network Name (SSID) and WiFi Password printed
on the bottom of your MG8702. You’ll use these in setting up your
wireless device to wirelessly connect to the MG8702. Once you’ve
connected, you can open the browser of that wireless device.
