Cable Modem Connection

NOTE:  It's recommended that you install the router for Internet connectivity with the Setup Wizard provided on the TrueMobile 2300 CD. Perform the below installation steps only when you are unable to install the router with the Setup Wizard for Internet connectivity.

Cable Modem - Standard Setup

Use this setup when your Cable service provider does not require you to enter any information for your Internet Broadband connection.

Cable Modem with name settings

Use this setup when your Cable service provider requires you to enter Host Name and Domain Name for your Internet Broadband connection.

Cable Modem with other settings

Use this setup when your Cable service provider requires you to enter other information.

Cable Modem - Standard Setup

1. Connect the Ethernet port on the Cable modem to the Internet port on the router via an Ethernet cable.

2. Connect any one of the four LAN port on the router to the Ethernet port on your computer via another Ethernet cable. (Connect to the router from your PC with a wireless network adapter.)

3. Power on the router.

4. The setup should work on the router with factory default settings.
   
   

   NOTE: If the installation is not successful because you have modified any setting or due to other factors, you can restore the default settings by pushing the Reset button at the side of the router for at least 2 seconds.  The router will reboot with the default settings and the setup should complete at this point.

   
   
   

   Information: The Wireless Broadband Router is configured by default with the following settings: The Cable/xDSL interface is configured with the DHCP client enabled.  The Local Area Network and Wireless interfaces are configured with the DHCP server enabled.  No user name, password, computer name, or workgroup name are enabled.  This configuration will work properly with a cable modem provider that does not require authentication.
