IMPORTANT: Don’t forget to reboot your cable or DSL modem after new connections are made and make sure that your modem is powered on before proceeding.
Check your connections
With your computer completely started, verify the POWER and HOME NETWORK indicator lights on the front of the HomePortal are green. If they are not, see “Diagnosing connection problems” on page 22. The BROADBAND LINK indicator light will not turn green until the HomePortal software has been installed and an Internet connection has been established.
Continue from here to Step 3 “Install the HomePortal Software” on page 15.
