Cable Connection
*If you have a splitter, you will have to connect your coaxial cable using the instructions below:
Input Port
Output Ports 
Make sure that the cable coming from the cable outlet on your wall is plugged into input port of the splitter and the cable going to the modem is hooked up to the output port.
E.Hand-tighten each connector to avoid damage.
F.Plug the power cord adapter to the power connector on the back of the gateway and into the electrical outlet. This will turn the gateway on. You can leave the gateway plugged in when not in use.
NOTE: Do not plug any devices into your gateway until you complete the next step.
G.The first time your gateway is connected and powered up it needs to download software to enable the wireless functionality. This process takes approximately ten minutes. After the download is complete, your gateway will reboot itself.
The gateway will be ready for use when the POWER, DS, US and ONLINE lights on the front panel of the gateway stop blinking and remain on.
Establishing Wireless Connectivity
There are two methods you can use to establish wireless network connectivity; an initial Ethernet connection (METHOD A) or by using the WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) method via the button located on the back of the gateway (METHOD B). If you know that your network adapter supports WPS you can use the procedure outlined in METHOD B otherwise please follow the instructions for METHOD A.
For either method you will need to know your network SSID. Your default SSID is NWT plus the last four digits of your Northwestel Account Number. i.e. NWT1846.
