New C1000A not working with already established internet

[sdarnell2618]

I have Dish wireless internet and had their C1000A rental combo. It stopped working so instead of paying the rental i just purchased one online. It had Century link logo on it if that matters or not. So i hooked it all up just as the old one was hooked up and not sure what to do from here. Do I need to register all the information on bottom with Dish or do I need to go in manually and change stuff on the computer. This is all new to me and have always had Dish come out and do it for me since I was paying the rental fee which I am not. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

By DISH you mean the satellite provider. The c1000a is a VDSL modem that hooks to a phone line.

I have Dishnet which is the internet provided by Dish. My box is a c1000a which can be hooked up wirelessly. It stopped working (the box wont power on) so i bought a replacement but cant and don't know what to do from here after connecting it the exact same way the other box was.

You are going to have to more clearly describe what you are doing. The standard way that device runs is you hook a phone cable to the DSL port to get internet.

You might be able to hook it to some box that DISH uses with a ethernet cable and then get WiFi from the c1000a. I can not see a way to use the c1000a without physically cabling it to something.
