How Do I Connect My Gateway for Internet Service?

3Connect the active RF coaxial cable from your service provider to the coax connector labeled CABLE on the back of the residential gateway.

Note: To connect a TV, DHCT, set-top, or VCR from the same cable connection, you will need to install a cable signal splitter (not included). Always check with your service provider before using a splitter as a splitter may degrade the signal.

4Connect your PC to the residential gateway using either of the following methods.

Ethernet Connection: Locate the yellow Ethernet cable. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on your PC, and connect the other end to the yellow ETHERNET port on the back of the residential gateway.

Note: To install more Ethernet devices than ports provided on the residential gateway, use an external multi-port Ethernet switch(s).

Wireless: Make sure that your wireless device is powered up. You will need to associate your wireless device with the wireless gateway once the gateway is operational. Follow the directions provided with your wireless device for associating with a wireless access point.

More information about the factory default configuration of your wireless gateway can be found later in this user guide in Configure Wireless Settings (on page 81).

5Locate the AC power cord provided with your residential gateway. Insert one end of the power cord into the AC connector on the back of the residential gateway. Then, plug the AC power cord into an AC outlet to power-up the residential gateway. The residential gateway will perform an automatic search to locate and sign on to the broadband data network. This process may take up to 2- 5 minutes. The modem will be ready for use when the POWER, DS, US, and ONLINE LEDs on the front panel of the residential gateway stop blinking and remain on continuously.

6Plug in and power on your PC and other home network devices. The LINK LED on the residential gateway corresponding to the connected devices should be on or blinking.

7Once the residential gateway is online, most Internet devices will have immediate Internet access.

Notes:

For Internet devices other than PCs, refer to the DHCP or IP Address configuration section of the User Guide or Operations Manual for those devices.

When using MoCA, we recommend that you install a point of entry filter to contain the MoCA signal within your home network. Contact your service provider for more information about your MoCA network.

On some occasions, the MoCA signal may affect the operation of other devices connected to your home coax network. Installation of a MoCA (low- pass) filter at the coax input of the affected devices may restore the normal operation.
