Frequently Asked Questions

Q.What if I don’t subscribe to cable TV?

Q.How do I arrange for installation?

A professional installation ensures proper cable connection to the modem and to your PC, and ensures proper configuration of all hardware and software settings. Contact your cable service provider for more information about installation.

Q.How does the gateway cable modem connect to my computer?

A.The cable modem connects to the USB port or the 10/100BaseT Ethernet port on your PC. If your PC is not equipped with an Ethernet interface, an Ethernet card is available from your local PC or office supply retailer, or from your cable service provider.

Q.After my cable modem is connected, how do I access the Internet?

A.Your local cable service provider becomes your Internet Service Provider (ISP). They offer a wide range of services including e-mail, chat, news, and information services. Your cable service provider will provide the software you will need.
