Para garantizar la mejor velocidad de internet y calidad de teléfono, aprieta cada conector de cable coaxial y utiliza la llave incluida para asegurar que las conexiones del cable estén firmes.

1 Desconecta la línea del cable principal de tu caja de cable digital, módem o router, pero deja el otro extremo conectado al enchufe de la pared.2 Toma ese cable y conéctalo al bifurcador de cables donde está marcado “in”. Si estás reemplazando un módem viejo, es posible que tu cable ya esté bifurcado, y puedes saltar al paso 4.3 Utilizando uno de los cables coaxiales, conecta un extremo al extremo “out” del bifurcador y el otro extremo a la parte posterior de la caja de cable digital (si tienes una) o al televisor.4 Utilizando el otro cable coaxial, conecta un extremo al extremo “out” del bifurcador que queda y el otro extremo a la parte posterior del módem nuevo.5 Conecta el cable de alimentación a la parte posterior del módem y luego al tomacorriente o al protector de sobretensión. Espera al menos cinco minutos mientras el módem se inicia antes de continuar.

Ignora cualquier ventana que aparezca automáticamente que podría aparecer como “network setup wizard” o “set up your network.” más bien abre el navegador web (p. ej. Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Safari) y verás la pantalla de bienvenida de Optimum. Si no carga automáticamente, visita install.optimum.com.

6 Conecta un extremo del cable Ethernet a la parte posterior del módem y un extremo al puerto Ethernet en la parte posterior de la computadora. No lo conectes a un router todavía.

7 Enciende la computadora, abre tu navegador web (p. ej., Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Safari) y sigue las instrucciones de la pantalla.

• Necesitarás tu número de cuenta de 13 dígitos, el cual puedes encontrar en la orden de trabajo, factura, recibo de Optimum Store o Canal 900. Si estás instalando el servicio de internet por primera vez, también tendrás que crear una identificación de Optimum aquí.

8 Si ya tienes tu identificación, o una vez que hayas creado una, necesitarás iniciar sesión en tu cuenta en optimum.net. Selecciona la opción “Recordarme” para no cerrar la sesión mientras conectas tu Router Inteligente.

9 Si solo estás conectando el servicio Optimum Online, puedes saltar a la sección “Conecta tu Router Inteligente”.

10 Conecta el cable de teléfono desde el puerto marcado “TEL 1” en la parte de atrás del módem a tu teléfono. Si tienes dos líneas, conecta un segundo cable de teléfono al puerto marcado “TEL 2”.

11 Si el teléfono necesita corriente, conéctalo ahora. Si es un teléfono nuevo, ponlo a cargar la noche antes de usarlo.

12 Si estás conectando un servicio telefónico por primera vez, necesitarás registrarte, configurar y administrar tus funciones de llamada en optimum.net/voice.

Antes de empezar: Asegúrate de tener el navegador web (p.ej. Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Safari) más actualizado. Además, si ya tienes un nombre de red y una contraseña para tu hogar, tenlos escrito en algún lugar. Los necesitarás cuando conectes tu nuevo Router Inteligente.

Si estás conectando un módem por primera vez, necesitas esto:

Conecta tu Router InteligentePara obtener la mejor señal inalámbrica, coloca tu Router Inteligente cerca de donde normalmente utilizas la computadora o dispositivo inalámbrico y asegúrate que no haya obstrucción, por ejemplo muebles. El router debe estar en posición vertical, como se muestra en la parte superior de la página.

1 Desconecta el módem del tomacorriente o protector de sobretensión. Si las luces del módem están encendidas, desconecta la batería de reserva que está conectada al módem.2 Desconecta el cable Ethernet existente entre el módem y la computadora, y conecta el cable Ethernet amarillo del módem al puerto Ethernet WAN rojo del Router Inteligente.3 Si estás utilizando una computadora portátil o una conectada por cable para configurar el Router Inteligente, conecta el cable Ethernet existente entre cualquier puerto Ethernet LAN amarillo abierto al Router Inteligente y a la computadora. Si no estás utilizando una computadora portátil o dispositivo inalámbrico, omite este paso. 4 Conecta el módem al tomacorriente o al protector de sobretensión existente. Si tienes una batería de reserva, vuelve a conectarla al módem. Espera a que las cuatro luces del módem de cable dejen de parpadear antes de proceder. Esto puede tomar unos cuantos minutos.5 Conecta el Router Inteligente al tomacorriente o protector de sobretensión. Si la luz no está iluminada, presiona el botón de encendido ubicado en la parte posterior del router, en la esquina inferior izquierda. Espera unos cinco minutos mientras el Router Inteligente comprueba si hay actualizaciones de red antes de continuar. Podrás saber si las actualizaciones terminaron cuando las tres primeras luces, alternando con las tres últimas luces, comiencen a parpadear con una luz verde.

Configura tu red doméstica Ignora cualquier ventana que aparezca automáticamente que podría aparecer como “network setup wizard,” o “set up your network.” más bien abre el navegador web (p. ej. Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Safari) y verás la pantalla de bienvenida de Optimum.

6 Ve a la configuración de WiFi en tu computadora, portátil o dispositivo móvil, selecciona el nombre de red (SSID- que figura en la parte posterior del Router Inteligente) e introduce la contraseña predeterminada (algunas veces denominada clave de seguridad). Para encontrar la configuración de WiFi en tu dispositivo, sigue el paso 10 abajo en la sección “Conectar dispositivos a la red doméstica”.7 Abre el navegador web en la computadora que está conectada al Router Inteligente y serás redirigido automáticamente a una página de bienvenida.8 Para establecer tu red, sigue los pasos en la pantalla. Si estás reemplazando un router, debes usar el nombre de red (SSID) y la contraseña de tu router viejo para conectar automáticamente todos los dispositivos inalámbricos. Para crear un nuevo nombre de red y una contraseña, sigue los pasos que aparecen en la pantalla. Para este Router Inteligente, necesitarás una contraseña. 9 Ve a la configuración de WiFi en tu dispositivo. Selecciona el nombre de red personalizado (SSID) que acabas de crear e introduce la contraseña.

Conecta dispositivos a tu red10 Selecciona tu nuevo nombre de red personalizado (SSID) de las configuraciones inalámbricas de cada dispositivo.• iPhone: “Configuraciones” y “WiFi”• Dispositivo Android: “Configuraciones” > “Redes Inalámbricas” o “WiFi”• PC: El ícono de Conexión de Redes Inalámbricas en la bandeja del sistema• Mac: El ícono Airport en la barra del menú• Al conectar otros dispositivos, como consolas de juegos, impresoras inalámbricas, etc., utiliza el método de botón WPS (consulta el manual del dispositivo)11 Ingresa la contraseña y haz clic en “conectar”.

Para conectar dispositivos que no tienen capacidades inalámbricas: Conecta tu computadora a uno de los puertos “LAN” amarillos del Router Inteligente usando otro cable Ethernet.
