Some cable companies restrict the modems it allows their customers to use. Check with your cable provider. If yours is OK, the provider may ask for the hardware address or "MAC" address of your modem so that it can be programmed into their system. Once all this is set up, just screw the cable into the modem and power it up. There are other things that could go wrong, but the cable provider should provide free technical support.
