NETGEAR CM212 Install the Cable Modem

Install the Cable Modem

After unpacking the box, you can install the cable modem. You do not have to power

down any equipment to do this, but if you need to move your computer (perhaps to get

to a port in the back), you may want to shut down the computer before moving it.

Use the USB cable if you’re connecting the modem to one Windows-based computer and you

have an available USB port on your computer.

1. Connect the CATV cable from the wall outlet to the Cable port on the modem.

2. Connect the USB cable to the USB port on the modem and to a USB port on the computer.

3. Connect the power adapter into the back of the modem and then plug the adapter into a

power source (such as a wall socket or power strip).

Once the Modem establishes a link with your service provider, the PC will automatically detect

the modem on the USB port.

The Power, Cable, Status, and USB lights on the modem should be lit. If any of the lights are

not lit, go to Troubleshooting on page 13.

Note: The modem must be connected to the Coaxial Cable and established link

(Cable and Status Lights are solid Green) before your PC will recognize the modem.

Proceed to Chapter 3 page 6 to install the USB drivers.
