The Thomson Gateway is not responding
If the completion window does not appear after running the Thomson Gateway Home Install Wizard, this
means that the Thomson Gateway is not responding or not accessible anymore.
There are two possibilities:
> This might be due to the reconfiguration of the Thomson Gateway’s IP settings or wireless access point
settings. In this case, the last window of the Home Install Wizard will not be shown. Your Thomson
Gateway is correctly set up though and you will be able to surf the Internet.
> If you did not reconfigure the Thomson Gateway’s IP settings or wireless access point settings, restart the
Home Install Wizard.
If the problem persists, refer to the Service Provider’s instructions for more information.
