- After unbox your router and modem plug them into an outlet close to your Spectrum coax connection.(Its best to get a power strip with multiple plugs)
- Connect the coax cable, which should have been provided by Spectrum, to the coax connection on the wall.
- Now connect the yellow ethernet cable to the yellow plugs on the back of both the modem and the router.(cable should be included with either the modem or the router) see image to the left
- Now you will need to Activate the connection. To do this contact the Spectrum Community Solutions department, 833.697.7328 and either follow the automated instructions or just ask for an agent to help you.
- Once you modem connection is Activated you can connect to your WIFI to whatever streaming device, smart phone or computer you like. You can get the Network name and password from the rear of the Router. There is also a QR code on the back to make the connection process even easier.
- NOTE: If you are connecting a Spectrum Set Top CABLE Box in addition to your modem and router you will need to install the coax splitter(see image to the right) which should have been provided by Spectrum and plug it into the coax connection on the wall and then plug the modem into one port on the splitter and the TV set top box to the other connection on the splitter.
- If you received a XUMO Streaming box instead of a cable box I would advise you to call Spectrum Community Services to have them help you set it up. 833.697.7328
- If you already had Spectrum activate your connection you should not have to do anything. If you have not activated it yet then call the Spectrum Community Solution department and tell them you are connecting both your internet and TV box.
NOTE: It could take up to an hour for your TV picture to adjust to the correct settings, such as aspect ratio, etc.
