1
Connect the coax cable
into an active cable
outlet and to the coax port on the Gateway.
Then connect the
power cord
2
in to an electrical
outlet and to the Gateway. It's important to connect
the power cord second. Also, make sure the electrical
outlet isn't connected to a dimmer.
Now that it's powering on, wait about 10 minutes for
it to fully boot up. You'll know it's ready when the
"online" light
is solid.
OPTIONAL: Use the
Ethernet cable
to connect
your computer to the Gateway via a wire, rather
than wirelessly.
Step 2: Connect to the network
Open the wifi settings on your smartphone, tablet,
or computer. Connect to the network using the
Network Name (SSID) and the Preshared Key (that's
the password) from the label on the Gateway.
Once your device is connected, open a browser and
surf the web to verify that you're good to go.

FAQs
Why isn't my Gateway working?
Try rebooting – just unplug the power cord from the
wall, wait 10 seconds, then plug it back in. It may take
a few minutes to fully reset. Also, make sure all of the
connections are tight and completely plugged in.
Which coax outlet should I use?
It needs to be an active outlet. It should be centrally
located and not surrounded by metal. Inactive outlets
are common, so try a different one if it's not working.
What's the Ethernet cable for?
It's an optional cable to connect your computer to
the Gateway via a wire, rather than wirelessly.
