Connect the network outlets in your distribution cabinet to the LAN ports of the Sunrise modem. This will provide Internet access to the rooms in your home through the existing in-house cabling.
Connect a device via WiFi or using a network cable and check whether the Internet connection is working.
If no connection can be established, check all cable connections and restart the modem.
Important note about WiFi
Installing a modem inside a metal distribution cabinet can significantly reduce WiFi coverage. Metal enclosures block wireless signals and may limit their range.
How to improve WiFi coverage:
Place the modem outside the metal cabinet whenever possible.
Use additional WiFi access points or Mesh devices.
Provide WiFi from a central location in the apartment or house.
