1. Connect the LAN: You can connect the Wireless Cable Modem Gateway to your PC, or to a
hub or switch. Run Ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports on the rear of the Wireless
Cable Modem Gateway to your computer’s network adapter or to another network device.
You can also connect the Wireless Cable Modem Gateway to your PC (using a wireless client
adapter) via radio signals.
Note: It is recommended that for first-time setup you use a wired connection.
2. Connect the WAN: Connect a coax cable to the CATV port on the back of the Wireless
Cable Modem Gateway from a cable port located in your home. When connecting to the
CATV port, use only manufactured coaxial patch cables with F-type connectors at both
ends for all connections.
Note: If this modem was NOT installed by the cable service provider (ISP) or is being used
to replace another cable modem – please contact your Cable Operator (ISP) to register the
SMC8013WG. Without registering the modem with your ISP it will be unable to connect to
the cable network system.
3. Power on: Connect the power adapter to the EZ Connect™ Wireless Cable Modem Gateway.
Warning
: Only use the power adapter that was provided with the EZ Connect™ Wireless Cable
Modem Gateway, using another power adapter may damage your unit and void the warranty.
