To cable your modem router:
1. Connect a coaxial cable.
Use the coaxial cable that your cable company provides to connect the cable port on the
modem
router to a cable wall outlet or a line splitter.
Note: If Charter is your cable Internet service provider (ISP), Charter
recommends connecting your modem router directly to a cable wall
outlet. If you must use a splitter, use a splitter that is rated at 3.5 dBmv.
2. Connect the power adapter to the modem router and plug the power adapter in to an
electrical outlet.
3. Press the Power On/Off button on the rear panel of the modem router.
The Power LED lights green.
You can log in to the modem router
to view or change its settings.
Cable Your Modem Router to a Router or Gateway
If you want to cable the modem router to a router or gateway, then you must log in to the
modem router and change its Router Mode setting. Changing this setting prevents certain
network conflicts that can occur when two devices on the same network perform routing
functions such as network address translation (NAT) and DHCP (assigning IP addresses to
devices on the network).
