High Speed Internet
Most cable modems other than the Motorola Surfboard indicate online status with a single
cable light. If the cable light is flashing, the modem is acquiring a connection to the internet;
if it is solid, the modem is online.
If the modem is not able to connect to the internet, then the cable wall outlet may need to be
adjusted. Please call our support department to schedule a time when a Wave technician can
perform this work. If you are using a cable splitter to connect both the modem and your TV,
it will affect the signal received by the modem. You can bypass the splitter and connect the
modem directly to the wall outlet, to see if the modem can connect to the internet without
using the splitter.
Once the modem is connected to the internet, connect the cable modem to your computer
using either the Ethernet cable, or the USB cable.
Ethernet or USB?
Your computer may have a NIC, also called an Ethernet
card. The NIC can be found in the back of your com-
puter with a port that looks similar to a telephone jack,
but somewhat larger.
Alternatively, most computers have one or more USB
ports built in. This is a small rectangular port on the
front or rear panel of the case, and will be labeled USB.
