What do I need to connect to the broadband Internet access (cable modem) service?
You will need an Ethernet adapter installed in your computer (most computers come with an adapter installed). You will also need a 10BaseT Ethernet drop cable. One is provided with the modem (see the connection diagram on the Instructions page). If you need a longer drop cable than what was provided, they are commonly available at most consumer electronics stores. (Note: splitters or other connection devices should never be used to connect two or more Ethernet cables.) You can also move the cable modem closer to your computer; however you will need a longer RG-6 coax cable between the existing splitter and the cable modem. Longer coax cables are also available at consumer electronics store.
