Sorry your original modem gave you trouble! Swapping in the new one is quick.

🔄 Swap it in

  1. Unplug the power and cables from your old modem. Take a quick photo first so you remember where everything goes.
  2. Connect the wall cable and your router (if separate) to the new modem in the same way.
  3. Plug the new modem into power and wait up to 10 minutes for the lights to settle.
  4. Restart your router.
