Connecting ReplayTV to a Cable Modem
Using a router to connect ReplayTV to your cable modem is recommended. The router will allow you to share your cable modem 
without needing additional IP addresses from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Also, your ISP may require that you log on or 
use special software on your PC in order to access the Internet. Consult your ISP for requirements. Refer to the following connec-
tion examples for details.
Connecting to a router  
1
Use a recommended router that your ISP supports and 
connect it directly to your cable modem. (See “Recom-
mended Routers” on page 15.) If you have a single-port 
router, you will also need a hub or a switch to connect 
more than one device to the router. Verify that the router 
is configured properly for ReplayTV. See “Configuring 
Ports for Sending Recordings” on page 16.
2
Turn on your router. Refer to the router’s user guide to 
set up the router. The default configuration of the router 
is normally sufficient. By default, most routers have 
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) enabled 
for automatically assigning IP addresses.
3
You can connect ReplayTV directly to the router, or to a 
hub or switch that is connected to the router. Refer to 
“Connecting ReplayTV to an Existing Network” on 
page 12 to complete the setup.
