Arris Modem Setup with ISP
To get started, ensure your Arris modem is properly connected to your Internet Service Provider. You’ll need a coaxial cable, a power cord, and an ideal spot to place the modem.
Steps to Connect:
Position the Arris modem near the ISP socket.
Connect one end of the coaxial cable to the ISP wall socket and the other to your modem.
Plug in the power cord and switch on the device.
Observe the Arris modem lights to confirm the modem is powered and receiving a signal.
Next, use a computer or laptop to configure the modem:
Open a browser and go to 192.168.0.1.
You'll be prompted to log in via the Arris router login page using default admin credentials.
Once inside the dashboard, navigate to Settings > Management > Modes, and select Modem Mode.
At this point, your Arris device is ready to serve as a modem.
Connecting Netgear R7000 to Arris Modem
Place your Netgear R7000 router close to the Arris modem. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the R7000’s WAN (yellow) port to the LAN port on the Arris modem.
After both devices are powered on:
Wait for the Arris modem lights to show a stable connection.
Ensure the R7000 router is receiving a signal from the modem.
