How is the router connected? To connect a router to a VM cable modem, you need to do the following:
- Unplug the modem from the mains.
- Plug the Ethernet cable from the modem to the Internet/WAN port (on most routers, this port is seperate from the others) on the router.
- Power the modem up. Wait for the lights to settle.
- Power the router up.
- Connect one of the LAN ports on the router (there are normally four grouped together) to the Ethernet/LAN port on the PC.
- Power the PC up.
