How to use residential gateway

Background information
The Residential gateway functionality can be used to connect a device without internet access through the receiver to the
internet. It uses the receiver's internet connection to establish this setup.
The receiver is connected to the internet via the WAN interface (e.g. Mobile internet, Ethernet or WLAN).
The external device is connected to the receiver via the LAN interface (e.g. Ethernet or WLAN). The receiver therefore acts as
an access point. Both, the receiver and the attached device then share the internet connection of the receiver.
The configuration of one possible use case is described in detail below.
Before you begin
Below step-by-step guide will guide you through a setup using mobile internet as the WAN interface to connect to the internet
and Ethernet as the LAN interface that has a laptop connected and allows this laptop to share the internet access.
If the mobile internet device is used as WAN interface, it is highly recommended to use an extension cable for
the GPRS/UMTS antenna. This will ensure that the signal reception of the mobile network is stable and
reliable.
If the residential gateway is in use, it is recommended to monitor the CPU load of the GR as available in the
web interface on page Status > System Status. The CPU load mainly depends on the general receiver
configuration but is also affected by the network traffic. If the CPU load is constantly higher than 80%, some
functionality should be disabled.
