Install - Time Warner modem
 

if any one could help, im trying to install a newer webstar cable modem. the person time warner sent could not install the device, for he states the computer needs some drivers he does not have. i have looked for the drivers in the scientific atlanta website and have had no luck with what they offer. my question is will this set up process work for me as well?

Hi there and :welcome: to the forums.

Does the modem not have an ethernet socket on it ?
If you could use that you will not need any drivers.

Just turn off your modem and PC. Connect ethernet cable from Pc to modem.
Boot up modem, wait about one minute.
Then boot up PC.
Launch your web browser and it should redirect you to the registration page.

What model is the modem ?

If however you choose to use the usb connection you'll find the correct drivers at this link.

But definitely better to use the ethernet as Halcyon said

I assume this means the Webstar modems Virgin use are the same as those Time Warner use?;)
