I don't own a computer with an ethernet port. Any way to set up my modem without one?
Ya a PC or laptop with ethernet is needed really. If you have a laptop that doesn't have a ethernet port, you can get USB to ethernet adapters from amazon, newegg and places like that and are inexpensive.
You can try to see if the ISP can associate the modem, once they do, power it OFF, connect a external wifi router to the modem. Power ON the modem first, then power ON the wifi router. Connect to wifi on the router and see if it has internet connection or access to the modems web page at 192.168.100.1

I didn't even think about an adapter! That's a much better way to go!
