It’s a simple plug-and-play process to connect the Adapters. First, connect one Adapter to the
TV or set-top box, the broadband modem or router, and the Internet signal is established over the
Internet signal from the modem/router and delivers it to the coaxial network, while keeping the
TV or set-top box connected.
locate the coaxial outlet nears the home modem or router provided by Internet Service Provider.
Unplug the end of the coaxial cable connected to the TV set or set-top box from its coaxial wall
outlet. If no TV set or set-top box is plugged into this coaxial outlet, skip to step 3.
