24 Alternate Method: Install Without the Modem Setup Assistant
Connect a Router (optional)
Once you have set up your XOHM Modem and confirmed your Web connection, you
can set up your router as needed.
1. Consult your router’s documentation for setup details.
2. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from your computer and connect it to the router’s
Internet port. (It will go directly from the XOHM Modem’s LAN 1 port to the router.)
3. Connect an Ethernet cable from the router to your computer.
4. Make sure the modem’s LAN 1 indicator is illuminated and test connectivity by
launching the Web browser. If you are having difficulties, double-check your
router’s settings.
Note
Maintain a minimum distance of 1 foot between the XOHM Modem and your Wi-Fi router
to avoid signal interference.
Tip
For added security, change your modem password after setting up your router.
See “Access the Modem Configuration Interface” on page28 for more information.
