Installation Guide

Before you begin:
• Collect the following information:
Your cable Internet service provider (ISP) account information.
Modem router MAC address (on the modem router label).
Modem router serial number on the modem router label).
• Modem router model number, which is C6300v2.
• If you use Xnity, download the Xnity app from the App store or from
Google Play™. If you already have the Xnity app, make sure you have
updated to the latest version.
Connect your modem router
1. Turn off and disconnect existing modems and routers.
If you are replacing a modem that is currently connected in your home,
unplug the modem and plug the new modem router into the same outlet.
Install using the modem router web interface
2. Connect a coaxial cable.
Use a coaxial cable to connect the coaxial cable
connector on the modem router to the cable wall
outlet. Make sure the cable is tightly connected.
We recommend connecting directly to
the cable wall outlet. If you must share the
connection, use a 3.5dB (1 to 2) splitter.
3. Connect the power adapter to the modem router
and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet.
4. Wait for the Online LED
to light solid green for at least one minute.
This process might take up to 10 minutes and the modem router might reset
several times.
Note: When the Online LED lights, your modem router is still not connected
to the Internet. You must activate your modem router with your ISP.
If after 10 minutes the LED is still not solid green, verify that the cable outlet is
working, or call your ISP to make sure you have a connection.
Set up and activate your modem router with Xnity
1. If your current modem is leased from Xnity, call Xnity support to remove
your leased modem from your Xnity service.
2. Make sure that your mobile device is using an LTE Internet connection (do not
connect to a WiFi network).
3. Open the Xnity app and sign in with your Xnity ID.
4. Follow the steps to get online.
5. The activation process takes about 5 minutes.
