When using a router with a SURFboard modem, the WAN port of the router must connect to the Ethernet port of the modem. Depending on the router manufacturer, the WAN port may have a different name, such as Internet port. The remainder of the network devices (e.g. computer, printer, smartphone) will need to connect to the router.
NOTE 1: If the modem has a USB port, that USB port cannot be used with this setup.
NOTE 2: For information on setting up the router, please contact the router manufacturer. |
