Overview
SPLITTER
There are many types of
Satellite Decoder Splitter, you
buy your favorite at the shops
where it ’s been sold What do
we use the Splitter for? This
enables you to create a parallel
connection for the coaxial
cable (this is the cable that is
used to connect your decoder
to the TV and as well as the
decoder to the Dish hanged
outside).the splitter will share
the signal that comes from the
dish outside between the TV
and the Router cable modem,
which will convert the signal to
an internet signal
LINKSYS CABLE MODEM
Definition of a Cable Modem: A
cable modem is a device that
delivers high-speed Internet
connectivity via a cable
television company which
serves as the Internet service
provider (ISP). A cable modem
requires a subscription to
cable Internet service, and will
not function by simply
connecting it to a cable TV
(CATV) feed. Externally, a cable
modem resembles a DSL
modem. The coax cable that
brings in the digital CATV
signal provides a channel for
upstream and downstream
Internet service. This does not
interfere with television, as
there is plenty of "real estate"
or bandwidth space on the
coax cable to handle both TV
and Internet signals. Why
Linksys Cable Modem: The
Linksys Cable Modem does not
require you to pay any
additional separate monthly
subscription to the cable
company, you only need to
connect it with your current
subscription with your satellite
cable TV provider which will
only work with a Coaxial Cable.
RJ – 45 NIC Cable
This is a typical networking
cable which we will use to
network all the network
devices that we have listed
above such as the Router
(Cable Modem), we will use it
to make a connection from the
Router to the computer to
transmit internet.
Ethernet Cable
Ethernet cables connect
network devices such as
modems, routers, and
adapters. They transmit data
using the Ethernet protocol.
Most Ethernet cables have
RJ-45 jacks on both ends, each
with 8 pins. (They look similar
to telephone jacks, which use
4 pins or 6 pins.)
• Equipment using an Ethernet
cable is referred to as wired.
• Wireless equipment uses
radio waves in place of some
(or all) Ethernet cables. A
network device that uses both
Ethernet and wireless
connections is usually called
just wireless.
The Physical Ethernet Cables
• Use Cat 5 cables. (Cat 5 is a
measure of quality, meaning
that it supports traffic up to
100 MB / sec.) These are also
called 10/100 Base-T Cat 5
cables.
• Some Ethernet cable wires
crises-cross internally, others
are straight through, meaning
that pin 1 is wired to pin 1 on
the other end, etc. A port
(socket) for a straight through
Ethernet cable is sometimes
called an uplink port. If you
aren't sure about a cable, and
you can see the inside wires'
colors, hold the two ends of
the plugs up, so the same side
of the plug is facing you.
Router
A router is used to transmit
internet to more than 1
computer system on a
network setup, this enables
you to network your
connection to other system
(PCs). This is also known as
cable modem.
The connection runs the
incoming cable connection to
an external cable modem,
which has an Ethernet
connection to a router, which
then connects
DECODER
A decoder is a device which is
used to decode the satellite
signal receive from the satellite
dish into a video, the decoded
signal converted into video is
what we receive on our TV,
The purpose of we connecting
to the internet with a decoder
is to convert your decoder to a
Modem, a cable decoders is a
modem because it modulates
and demodulates, but it also
functions as a tuner, a
network bridge, an encryptor
etc.
To connect your PC or laptop
to a decoder to access the net,
you do not use a serial port as
with dialup modem.
COAXIAL CABLES
This connect the decoder to
the splitter and one end of the
cable goes into the TV while
the other end goes to the WAN
port of the router (Linksys
Router)
Things to take Note before
buying all the equipments
required for setup:
• I always recommend
running a router between a
cable modem and a PC because
a router not only allows more
than one PC to be connected,
but also provides a robust
hardware firewall that helps
shield your PC(s) connected to
it from internet – based
attacks.
• You can directly connect PCs
to a cable decoder using USB; I
do not recommend that option
because it precludes using a
router (cable modem)
• Some cable modems have a
built – in router, in which case
you don’t need to purchase a
separate one. If your computer
doesn ’t include an Ethernet
adapter built into the
motherboard or a separate
Ethernet card, you can install
an Ethernet card into an
available internal expansion
slot or use a USB – based
Ethernet adapter instead. I use
a USB - based Ethernet adapter
on my HITV decoder.
• The cable modem connects
to the CATV network using the
same coaxial cable connection
as your cable TV.
The steps to Connection
The steps to Connection
Step 1
Coaxial Cable cord
SplitterPort
Connect the coaxial cable from
your dish to your satellite
decoder splitter( i.e the “in” part)
and then connect one cable from
the first “out” port to your
decoder and the one from the
second port to your Linksys
modem; the cable can be
purchased from any shop where
they sell cable
decoder while one of the other
coaxial cable cords is connected
to your television to watch
satellite stations.
Step 2
Coaxial Cable cord
LINKSYS ROUTER
Connect the second Coaxial cable
cord from the splitter to WAN
port of your router (Linksys
Router)
Step 3
Coaxial Cable cord
If your cable modem does not
have an inbuilt router facility, you
will need to connect your cable
Modem to the CATV network of
your router using the same
coaxial cable connection as your
TV, but might need to convert it
Step 4
Ethernet Cable
LINKSYS ROUTER
Connect the Ethernet Cable from
the router to your computer
system, which can stand as a
client if you are using only one
computer or server if you are
networking more than one
system, make sure that your
computer has an inbuilt Ethernet
adapter on the Motherboard or a
separate Ethernet card, you can
also install an Ethernet Card into
an available internal expansion
slot or you can alternatively use a
USB – Based Ethernet Adapter
instead. In our connection we
use a USB –based Ethernet
adapter on HITV Decoder
Step 5
LINKSYS ROUTER
RJ -45 Cable
At the back of the Linksys Router
there are several ports, port 1 – 4
Stand as the LAN(Local Area
Network) Port which can be used
to connect 1 -4 CPU to the router
with an RJ -45NIC Cable, in most
cases the cables comes with the
router when you purchase it.
Connect 1 -4 CPU to the LAN Port
of the router with your RJ -45
Cables, please don ’t mistake it
with the Ethernet cable, as is only
to be used to connect the
computer which is the server to
the Router for network routing
and also note that each of the
CPU that connect to the Router
LAN Port with the help of RJ-45
must have an inbuilt Network
card install in them, while the
server should have an Ethernet
card adapter install on the board
as mentioned earlier.
Step 6
The fifth port of the Linksys
Router which stand as the WAN
Port (Wireless Access Network)
Connect the second coaxial cable
that comes from the splitter to
the WAN Port of the Router, but
note that you need a converter
which is an adapter that convert
the coaxial cable to RJ -45 cable
since the Router WAN port does
not have a direct port for a
coaxial cable
Step 7
The sixth port of the Linksys
Router which is called the
UplinkPort, the port can be
connected to a Hub or a Switch
to enable additional users or
computers within the network
range to share with the internet
of your decoder via wireless
access

Why d't u try it

I a couple of weeks lets say two at least i will let u guys know how this setup went cos i am all over it like mayonaise on bread

i dont believe it works

I believe dis cable modem stuff only need alittle more of devoted study and gbammmm flex begins

hahahahahahah

Pls my naija people download my full mixtape Come Back Season [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Pls how much does linksys cable modem cost and where can one gets it?

@just good i have linksys CM100 Cable modem and motorola surfboard just ordered from US for sale.the stuff is working well.call08064445131

@just good i have linksys CM100 Cable modem and motorola surfboard just ordered from US for sale.the stuff is working well.call08064445131

my broda wantd 2 try it b4...d problem is dat som of d materials needed for d connection ar very xpensive

has anybody self confirm if it is working?

Pls, We need 2 know.

Confirmation awaits!!!

I was at the computer village today to get the components required for the decoder internet browsing, there I met the shock of my life. The seller of motorola cable modem told me by himself that the cable modem does not work as much as people have given it popularity. I called another person to ask if he sells the device he just advised me to go for 3g modem as the whole idea is a fallacy. I was greatful I have not paid for it.

Pls before we post anything on a forum like this let us verify adequately after testing it ourselves. GOD BLESS YOU ALL

NORMAL

Real job,

Good job JUSTGOOD. Keep it up. Lov u guyz
