Chapter 2 Installing your gateway 9
Connecting computers to your gateway
You can connect your computers and devices to your gateway using a wired
connection or a wireless connection. With either type of connection, you can use the
first computer that you connect to the network to set up your gateway.
Connecting devices using a wired connection
Your gateway has four wired Ethernet ports that you can use to connect computers or
other devices.
1. Connect one end of the yellow Ethernet cable to one of the yellow Ethernet ports
on the gateway.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the Ethernet port on your computer.
You can connect up to 4 computers to your gateway using the wired Ethernet ports.
Note: A 6-foot yellow Ethernet cable is provided with the gateway. If you need an
additional or longer cable, use a Cat 5 or Cat 5e Ethernet cable.
After your gateway recognizes your computer, the ETHERNET indicator turns steady
green, and blinks when your computer starts communicating with your gateway.
