Tips for Improved Performance  
Check and Correct  
• For USB port use, verify that you have  
followed the procedure for Installing the USB  
Drivers for Windows 98/ME on page 15 of  
this guide, or the procedure for Installing the  
USB Drivers for Windows 2000 on page 16 of

If your cable modem does not perform as  
expected, the following tips may help. If you need  
further assistance, contact your cable service  
provider.  
• Verify that the plug to your cable modem AC  
adapter is properly inserted into an electrical  
outlet.  
• Verify that you have called your cable service  
provider and given them the serial number  
and MAC address of your cable modem.  
• Verify that your cable modem AC adapter is  
not plugged into an electrical outlet that is  
controlled by a wall switch. If the electrical  
outlet is controlled by a wall switch, make sure  
the switch is in the ON position.  
• If you are using a cable signal splitter so  
that you can connect the cable modem to  
other devices, remove the splitter and  
reconnect the cables so that the cable  
modem is connected directly to the cable  
input. If the cable modem functions properly  
when connected in this way, the cable signal  
splitter may be defective and may need to be  
replaced.  
• Verify that the Power and Status indicators on  
the front panel of your cable modem are  
illuminated.  
• Verify that all cables are properly connected,  
and that you are using the correct cables.  
• Verify that your cable service is active and that  
it supports two-way service.  
• For Ethernet port use, verify that your TCP/ IP  
is properly installed and configured.
