Activate Your Internet Service

You must set up your cable modem router before activating your Internet service. For more information, see Set Up the Hardware.

Before you start the self-activation process, collect the following information:

• Your ISP account information
• Cable modem router model number, which is C6300v2
• Cable modem router serial number
• Cable modem router MAC address

Your cable modem router's serial number and MAC address are on the cable modem router label.

The following table lists contact information for ISPs that support your cable modem router.

Note: Your ISP's contact information might change. You can also find the contact information in your monthly Internet service billing statement.

To activate your Internet service:

1. Visit your ISP's website and follow the onscreen instructions to activate your Internet service.
2. To determine the accurate Internet speed, visit your ISP's speed test website and perform a speed test.

Join the WiFi Network

You can either use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) or select your WiFi network and type its password.

Join the WiFi Network Using WPS

For help with the WPS button on your WPS-enabled device, check the instructions or online help that came with that device. Some older equipment cannot use WPS.

Note: WPS does not support WEP security. If you are using WEP security, use the manual method.

1. Press the WPS button on the cable modem router for three to five seconds.
2. Within two minutes, on your WPS-enabled device, press its WPS button.
   The WPS-enabled device connects to your cable modem router's WiFi network.
3. Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 to add other WPS-enabled devices.

Select Your WiFi Network and Enter Its Password

1. On your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device, open the WiFi connection manager.
   The WiFi connection manager scans for WiFi networks in your area.
2. Find and select your cable modem router's WiFi network name (SSID).
   The SSID is on the cable modem router label.
3. Enter the cable modem router's password (or your custom password if you changed it) and click the Connect button.
