Cable internet service is a form of broadband Internet access that runs through a TV’s local cable connection. This is accessed through a coaxial cable outlet that connects to the modem to broadcast the internet information to the user.

IMPORTANT: Before setting up your router with a cable internet connection, make sure that your computer is online using an ethernet cable to the modem. If not, contact your ISP.

To configure your router with a cable internet connection, follow the steps below.

This feature is only available if you are locally connected to your network.

1. Connect an ethernet cable from your computer to any numbered ports at the back of the Linksys router.
