guide for your
Cisco 3848 modem
Locate a coaxial wall outlet. When deciding where to install
your Wi-Fi modem, consider placing it:
• Central to the areas where you use the Internet most often
• Close to devices you need to connect with an Ethernet cable
• Preferably 3 feet from the ground
• In an open space, away from any obstacle that may block
the Wi-Fi signal, such as wireless electronics, or materials
such as metal, concrete or mirrored surfaces
Connect one end of the provided coaxial cable to the wall
outlet and the other end to the CABLE input on the rear of the
modem. Firmly hand-tighten the cable to avoid damaging the
connectors.

Self-installation guide for your Cisco 3848 modem
Connect the power cord to the modem and plug it into an
active electrical outlet. This will start the synchronization
process. Note that it may take up to 20 minutes for the
modem to come online.
The DS, US and ONLINE lights on the front of your modem will
blink green while synchronizing and then change to solid green
when complete.
If the DS, US and ONLINE lights are not solid green after 20
minutes, try moving your modem to another coaxial outlet in
the home (if available) and repeat the above process.
