Prepare to activate

Power up your cable modem/router. To do this, the On/Off

button needs to be On (Push the button in until it clicks). Wait

for the online connection light (

for 3.0, or

for 3.1) to

stop flashing and remain solidly lit. This may take up to 15

minutes.

Activate with your service provider

Some service providers allow you to activate by calling them.

Others, like Comcast Xfinity and Cox, prefer that you activate

by opening the Web browser of a computer. It's best if the

computer is plugged into one of the MG8702's Ethernet ports,

but connecting with WiFi also works as discussed below.

Once you've opened the browser, go to your service provider's

web page. This should bring you directly to the service

provider's activation page. Note that some service providers

will automatically redirect you to their registration page when

you open your browser. Follow the onscreen instructions.

If you don't have a computer, you can use the Web browser of

a WiFi device such as a smartphone or tablet for activation. In

that case, you'll need the unique WiFi Network Name (SSID)

and WiFi Password printed on the bottom of your MG8702.

You'll use these in setting up your wireless device to wirelessly

connect to the MG8702. Once you've connected, you can open

the browser of that wireless device.
