Introduction

The Motorola Model MG7550 is a 16x4 DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem with a

built-in AC1900 Wi-Fi router that has 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports. This model

connects to standard cable company Internet service. Model MG7550 can

provide shared Internet access to Ethernet-capable and Wi-Fi devices

including computers, smartphones, tablets, HDTVs, game consoles, security

cameras, and streaming media devices. The MG7550 is a dual-band Wi-Fi

router, and supports clients that operate on both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands.

Basic Installation instructions for Model MG7550 are in the Quick Start that

comes with Model MG7550 and that is duplicated in Chapter 2 of this User

Guide.

Model MG7550 has a Configuration Manager that provides a lot of technical

information about Model MG7550 and that tells you how to do some useful

things as summarized below. Please note that some users will never need

to use the Configuration Manager.

Quick Start

PowerCube CoaxWrench

EthernetCable Velcro

®Cable Tie



Let’s get started

If you don’t have cable Internet service, please order that from your cable

service provider.

Now connect your MG7550 as shown on the next panel.

Connecting to a Coax Cable

Soon you’ll need to connect your MG7550 to a

“live” coax cable. Sometimes a cable will

already be available. Sometimes there’s a coax

wall jack available, and you connect to the jack

with a coax cable. Your MG7550 can also share

a coax cable attached to a TV by using a coax

splitter.



ETHERNET (LAN 1-4)

You can connect a computer,

HDTV, game station, or other

Ethernet-capable device to any of

these 4 LAN ports.

WLAN button

Wi-Fi on/off button

WPS button

RESET

COAX

Connect a “live” coax cable to the

modem’s COAX connector as

discussed above. (Tighten the nut

so it’s finger tight. You may want to

use the supplied wrench. Make the

connection snug but not

over-tight.)

ON/OFF button

POWER

Connect the supplied power cube

between the power jack and an

electrical outlet.



Prepare to activate

By now you should have:

•Subscribed to cable Internet service.

•Connected your MG7550.

•Powered up your MG7550. To do this, the On/Off button needs to be On.

Wait for the green online connection light to stop flashing and remain

solidly lit. This may take up to 15 minutes.

You should have a recent cable bill handy because it has your account

number and you’ll probably need that.

If you’re asked for information about the MG7550, you can find this on the

label on the bottom of the MG7550.

Activate

For some service providers, you activate by calling them. Many service

providers including Comcast and Cox prefer that you activate by opening the

Web browser of a computer that’s plugged into one of the MG7550’s

Ethernet ports.

If you don’t have a computer, you can use the Web browser of a Wi-Fi device

such as a smartphone or tablet. In that case you’ll need the unique Wireless

Network Names (SSIDs) and Password printed on the bottom of your

MG7550. Note that your MG7550 supports two Wi-Fi bands, and there are

separate SSIDs for these bands. The bands are 2.4 and 5 GHz. Both bands

use the same Password by default. You’ll use these in setting up your

wireless device to connect to the MG7550. Once you’ve connected, you can

open the browser of that wireless device.



For Comcast XFINITY Users Only:

If the activation page does not appear, please go to

www.xfinity.com/internetsetup for more information and to activate your

modem.

Here is a list of phone numbers for some major cable service

providers. (Note that this list is subject to change.)

Comcast 1 (855) 652-3446

Time Warner 1 (855) 704 4503

Bright House 1 (888) 289-8988

Suddenlink 1 (877) 794-2724

Cable One 1 (877) 692 2253

Cox 1 (888) 556-1193

RCN 1 (866) 832-4726

Once your MG7550 is activated either online or by phone,

your service provider will provision your MG7550 service.

Typically this takes less than 5 minutes, but in some cases this

may take 30 minutes or longer to complete.

Try to browse the Web using a device connected via Ethernet or Wi-Fi to the

MG7550. If browsing works, Congratulations! Your MG7550 is working.

If your MG7550 is NOT working, see Troubleshooting Tips below.
