Quick Start

Packaged with your MG7315 modem/router

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 MG7315 as shown on the next panel.

Connecting to a Coax Cable

Soon you’ll need to connect your MG7315 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 MG7315 can also share

a coax cable attached to a TV by using a coax

splitter.



ON/OFF button

POWER

Connect the supplied power

cube between the power

jack and an electrical outlet.

RESET

WLAN button

Wi-Fi on/off button

WPS button

ETHERNET (LAN 1-4)

You can connect a

computer, HDTV, game

station, or other

Ethernet-capable device to

any of these 4 LAN ports.

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.)



Prepare to activate

By now you should have:

•Subscribed to cable Internet service.

•Connected your MG7315.

•Powered up your MG7315. 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 MG7315, you can find this on the

label on the bottom of the MG7315.

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 MG7315’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 Name and Password printed on the bottom of your MG7315. You’ll

use these in setting up your wireless device to connect to the MG7315. 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 MG7315 is activated either online or by phone,

your service provider will provision your MG7315 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

MG7315. If browsing works, Congratulations! Your MG7315 is working.

If your MG7315 is NOT working, see Troubleshooting Tips below.
