Wireless-G Cable Gateway

Chapter 4: Connecting the Wireless-G Cable Gateway

Overview

To set up the Gateway, you will have to connect the Gateway to your Cable line, computers, and other network
devices, as well as configure the Gateway with setting(s) provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
The installation technician from your ISP should have left the setup information for the Gateway with you after
installing your broadband connection. If not, you can call your ISP to request that data.
After you have the setup information you need for your specific type of Internet connection, you can begin
installation and setup of the Gateway.
If you want to use a computer with an Ethernet adapter to configure the Gateway, continue to "Wired Ethernet
Connection to a Computer." If you want to use a computer with a wireless adapter to configure the Gateway,
continue to "Wireless Connection to a Computer." If you want to use a USB connection to configure the Gateway,
continue to "Wired USB Connection to a Computer."

1. Before you begin, make sure that all of your network's hardware is powered off, including the Gateway and all
computers.

(The other end of the coaxial cable should be connected according to the cable company's instructions.)
