Connecting a router (router) to a modem (modem) allows us to access the Internet from many devices in the house, while providing an extra layer of security against hackers and third parties. Routers and modems can be properly installed using the two Ethernet cables, coax and power cords that come with the device. This wikiHow teaches you how to connect your router to your modem.
Steps
Connect the router to the modem

Try disconnecting the modem for 15 seconds. If suddenly you can’t access the Internet, try unplugging the modem and plugging it back in after a few seconds. This allows the modem to shut down completely and initiate a new, stronger connection. After 15 seconds, you can reconnect the modem cord and wait at least two minutes before starting to access the Internet again. [2] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/09/Connect-a-Router-to-a-Modem-Step-26.jpg/v4-728px-Connect-a- Router-to-a-Modem-Step-26.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/09/Connect-a-Router-to-a-Modem- Step-26.jpg/v4-728px-Connect-a-Router-to-a-Modem-Step-26.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Try restarting both the modem and the router. If you have problems connecting to the Internet, try powering off the entire system and restarting the devices. This is to help refresh devices and fortify a stronger and longer-lasting Internet connection.
- Turn off the computer and unplug the modem.
- Disconnect the router’s power supply. Then check to make sure that both the Ethernet and coax cables are securely plugged into the devices.
- Reconnect the modem power cord and then the router.
- Wait two minutes, then turn on the computer. You should now be able to access the Internet.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/37/Connect-a-Router-to-a-Modem-Step-27.jpg/v4-728px-Connect-a- Router-to-a-Modem-Step-27.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/37/Connect-a-Router-to-a-Modem- Step-27.jpg/v4-728px-Connect-a-Router-to-a-Modem-Step-27.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Try swapping Ethernet and coax cables. This process is intended to eliminate equipment problems when you cannot access the Internet. In most cases, if the cable is frayed or damaged, you will have difficulty accessing the Internet.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/d7/Connect-a-Router-to-a-Modem-Step-28.jpg/v4-728px-Connect-a- Router-to-a-Modem-Step-28.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/d7/Connect-a-Router-to-a-Modem- Step-28.jpg/v4-728px-Connect-a-Router-to-a-Modem-Step-28.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Check to see if your area has power outages. If service is interrupted, contact your carrier. In some cases, temporary service interruptions may occur due to local maintenance or power outages.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/7e/Connect-a-Router-to-a-Modem-Step-29.jpg/v4-728px-Connect-a- Router-to-a-Modem-Step-29.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/7e/Connect-a-Router-to-a-Modem- Step-29.jpg/v4-728px-Connect-a-Router-to-a-Modem-Step-29.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Check if the modem is compatible with the router. If the connection cannot be established, you need to contact your service provider to check if the router is compatible with this modem. Some modems may be outdated and therefore not compatible with the router provided by the carrier.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/9f/Connect-a-Router-to-a-Modem-Step-30.jpg/v4-728px-Connect-a- Router-to-a-Modem-Step-30.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/9f/Connect-a-Router-to-a-Modem- Step-30.jpg/v4-728px-Connect-a-Router-to-a-Modem-Step-30.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Check if the modem requires any special configuration. If you cannot connect to the Internet, contact your carrier to ask if this modem requires any special configuration. Some cable modems need to be configured with an Ethernet port first to work properly with a network router. [3] X Research Sources
