Chapter 8 Troubleshooting

Will my Xbox work with the Gateway?

Yes, the Gateway is compatible with the Xbox. You will need to set a static IP on the Xbox in the Xbox live network settings, and forward ports 3074 (both UDP and TCP), 53 (both UDP and TCP), and 88 (UDP) if you run into DSL resolution errors.

Is the Gateway flash-upgradeable? How do I do it?

Yes, the firmware is upgradeable. You can find a link to the firmware site under “Utilities” in the Web-based configurator (see page 63).

Does the Gateway function as a DSL modem?

Yes, the Gateway has a built-in DSL Modem.

Wireless

Can I use an 802.11b wireless card to connect to the Gateway?

Yes, the Gateway can handle 802.11b cards or 802.11g cards. The 802.11g standard is backward compatible with the 802.11b standard. The Gateway can be setup to handle just “g” wireless cards, just “b” wireless cards, or both.

If I install several Gateways in different locations in my building, will they be able to talk to each other? Will I be able to stay connected as I move between them?

The Gateway does not communicate with other access points, since it is a single access point system. If you install several Gateway devices and move between coverage areas, your wireless device would actually have to reconnect to a sepa- rate network.

Which wireless cards will work with the Gateway?

The Gateway will connect with any wireless card supporting the 802.11g or 802.11b wireless standards.
