Ethernet WAN Settings

Your gateway has an Ethernet WAN port on the rear panel. You can use an Ethernet cable to
connect the gateway to Internet service.

Connect the Ethernet WAN Port

You can connect the gateway to a cable or DSL modem with an Ethernet cable and set up the
router to use that modem's Internet service instead of the mobile service.
To install the gateway with an Ethernet Internet connection:
1. Prepare your modem.
 Unplug your modem's power.

If the modem has a battery backup, remove its batteries.

If your modem was already connected to another router, disconnect the cable
between your modem and that router.

Make sure that your modem is turned off and is cabled only to the wall jack for your
Internet service.
2. Connect your modem.
3. Plug in, then turn on your modem. (Replace the batteries if you removed them.)
4. Use an Ethernet cable to connect your modem to the Ethernet WAN port of your
gateway.
5. Connect the power adapter to the gateway, and plug the power adapter into an outlet.
6. If no LEDs are lit, press the Power On/Off button on the rear panel of the gateway.
