Avoid placing it inside or behind cabinets or furniture.</li><li>Maintain space from appliances, electronics and metal, concrete, or glass.</li><li>Keep the modem upright and elevated on a shelf or table.</li></ul><p><strong>Connecting your modem:</strong></p><p>To get started, remove the modem from the protective packaging, including any plastic film that may be covering modem vents or panels.</p><ol><li> Plug your modem coax cable to a coax wall socket (the connector in the wall socket looks like a circle with a dot in it). <ul><li style=" list-style-type: circle; ">If you&rsquo;re replacing your modem with a new one, you can simply disconnect the coax cable from your existing modem and connect it to the new modem (if your existing coax cable looks damaged, replace it with the new one provided).</li></ul></li><li>Plug your modem into a power outlet. Use the power cord provided.</li><li>Your modem's indicator lights will begin to turn on.

You&rsquo;ll be prompted to test your modem&rsquo;s connection and to customize your network name and password. <br /> <strong>Tip:</strong> If you already have a home WiFi network name and password you&rsquo;re using with your devices, you can use these for your new modem as well. If you do, your devices should automatically reconnect once set-up is complete.
