LET’S GET STARTED
1. Turn o and disconnect any existing modems or routers on your network.
2. Connect coax cable that has active cable service to the modem’s
COAX connector. Ensure that you have access to the bottom label
during setup and activation of the modem.
3. Plug the MG8725 into a power outlet using the power adapter.
4. Wait for the online light ( for 3.0, or for 3.1) to stop flashing
and remain on for at least 1 minute. This process may take up to 15
minutes and the modem may reboot multiple times.
Note: You may use a coax splitter to share the cable connectivity with your
TV. Use a two-way splitter with a top frequency of 1,000 MHz or higher.
Please note this may reduce the device’s performance.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
For more detailed troubleshooting information please use the motosync
app or visit motorolanetwork.com/support.
What if I can’t connect to the internet?
• Turn the modem o for at least 10 seconds, then on, to see if that
fixes the problem.
• Check that the device is connected to power and has a snug
connection to coax.
• Check that the device’s power LED turns ON. Is the power adapter
plugged into a live outlet?
• Contact your cable service provider to make sure they’ve turned on
your internet service.
• If you’re using a splitter with your MG8725, try the MG8725 without
the splitter to see if that helps. If it does, you may need to get a
splitter with a top frequency of at least 1,000 MHz.
9
What if I am connected wirelessly, but my connection seems slow
or keeps dropping?
• Place the MG8725 in a central location for the best wireless coverage
throughout your home or oce.
• Try to avoid interference by keeping the MG8725 away from large
electronics and cordless phones.
• Use the motosync app to change the wireless channel to reduce
interference with neighbors’ wireless networks.
• If you need greater wireless range far away from your MG8725,
consider adding a mesh WiFi system. Or if you have coaxial cable
connections in other rooms, you can connect a MoCA adapter. For
these options, visit motorola.com/us/modems-routers.
• Check your motosync app to view each device’s WiFi signal strength
and to run internet speed tests. If your speed is significantly slower
than your internet plan, contact your provider.
10
What if I don’t remember my MG8725’s Wireless Network Name/
SSID or Security Key/Password?
• You can access and change your SSID and Password in the motosync app.
• Alternately, you can reset the device to factory defaults by pressing
the Reset button for 20 seconds using a paperclip; then, refer to the
default values on the bottom label of your MG8725.
