Power on Your Modem

This may take up to 10 minutes.
Connecting Your GigaSpire BLAST Wi-Fi Router
- Plug in the power adapter shipped with the GigaSpire to an available wall socket and attach the other end to the GigaSpire’s power port.
- Connect one end of the supplied Ethernet cable to the Yellow LAN Port 1 on the back of the Arris CM9200 internet modem and the other end of the cable to the WAN port on the back of the GigaSpire.
- Once the light is solid green (or blue), and you are able to see the WCG-***** SSID with your Wi-Fi devices, the initial setup is complete.
