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.
