Description
Set up the NETGEAR Nighthawk CAX30 cable modem router from unboxing to a working WiFi network. This guide covers the cable connections, ISP activation for Cox, Mediacom, Optimum, Sparklight, Spectrum and Xfinity, and WiFi setup in the Nighthawk app.
The CAX30 is a DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem with a built-in WiFi 6 router, so one device replaces both a rented gateway and a separate router. In this video you will see everything included in the box, how to connect the coaxial, Ethernet and power cables, what the lights should look like once the modem is online, how to activate service with your internet provider, and how to create your WiFi network name and password in the Nighthawk app.
