You need:
1) a working internet outlet connection in your front room.
2) The required cables (usually provided with your new modem)
3) The required log in credentials from your internet provider to connect the modem to their service
You may have to call your internet service to have them “allow” your modem to connect to their service
The biggest question is whether the outlet connection in your front room is connected to your internet service provider. For example, if your home previously had xfinity cable internet in the front room and your provider is xfinity cable then everything should be fine.
But if the internet provider is different or the internet modem was placed in a different room, then internet may not work until you get the front room outlet working.
Easiest thing to do now, is to connect everything, power up, enter your login credentials and hope it works.
If it doesn't work then, it may be easiest to pay the installation fee and have your provider find the problem
