Reconfigure Modem
These instructions explain how to reconfigure your modem in router mode. When you received your modem from Colosseum Online Inc., it was already configured in router mode for you. You do not have to follow these instructions. Only follow these instructions if for some reason you needed to start over and reconfigure your modem.
The steps to follow depend on what type of modem you have.
Before you begin, please make sure you have identified your modem by following the instructions on the "Identify My Modem" page.
Follow the instructions that apply to your modem type:
- Zoom X4 (1-port) or Zoom X5 (4-port)

These instructions are slightly different depending on whether you are connecting to the Zoom X4 (or Zoom X5) using Ethernet or USB.

Also, make sure your modem is hooked up properly by following the instructions for "Connecting Cables".
