How to Activate Arris SBG6700-AC

Activating your SBG6700AC is the first step you need to take after unboxing your new modem. It's a fairly simple process, and we recommend setting aside about an hour of your time to ensure you're able to complete the whole activation.

Plug in your new modem the same as the one it's replacing. Make sure power cable is plugged in and coaxial cable is screwed in on the back as well. It's recommended to do this and then wait an hour before calling your provider, if possible, so that your modem can download whatever firmware is needed for the activation.
Next, call your provider and let them know that you're doing an activation with a self-install of your new modem. They'll ask you for a few of the numbers on the bottom of the unit and then proceed to get your modem added to your account and service plan.
The call will end after the representative verifies with you that you have an internet connection. You can test this for yourself simply by visiting a few websites.

Your modem is now activated!
