G.hn over Coax

Wi-Fi Gb Ethernet

Bridge

User’s Guide

V1.0

INTRODUCTION

This G.hn to Wi-Fi Gb Ethernet bridge connects any
wireless and Ethernet devices to a high speed
connection of the coax network for Internet access.
This bridge brings you the newest Ethernet
compatible technology that uses the coaxial cable as
the network's physical wiring thereby eliminating the
need to install new wiring in a residential
environments. It is designed to operate on the coaxial
cable network.

This bridge allows you to connect PCs, STB and
wireless devices to Internet by simply plugging into
the existing coaxial F-Type connector.

Features

 Plug & Play

 Using existing coaxial TV cable to build a

network

 Shares Internet access and streaming video

 1 port connection compliant with 2Gbps G.hn

over Coax standard

 2 Standard 100/1000BaseT Gigabit Ethernet ports

for connecting to Ethernet or PC or STB

 IEEE 802.11 b/g/n/a/ac Wi-Fi MIMO Interface

 QoS Priority Mapping Support

 Configurable WiFi SSID and Key/Password

 Statistics and Status Information Support

Hardware Connections

1. Select a convenient location for the bridge near

the PC or Ethernet device to which it will be
connected. The bridge should be kept away from
excessive heat.

2. Using one coaxial cable to connect the G.hn

port to F-Type connector on the wall. Using
another coaxial cable to connect the other F-type

TV port to TV set (optional). Please make sure
the coaxial network is well grounded.

3. Connect the LAN1/LAN2 port to your Ethernet-

equipped device.

4. Connect the power adapter to the DC 12V port

into a wall outlet.

The figure above shows the connection diagram of
coax network. Follow the same steps to connect
any Ethernet devices such as a STB or PC, and Wi­Fi devices to the coax network.

Now you should have connected the LAN port,
G.hn port and the DC 12V port to the appropriate
devices or lines. LED will be as:

PWR ON
LAN Link/Act ON

(WiFi) ON

G.hn Link/Act ON (Green or Orange)

TROUBLESHOOTING

The bridge has been designed to be a reliable and
easy to use connection device. Please refer to the list
below to aid in troubleshooting.

The Power (green PWR) LED is off.

 Make sure the power adapter is properly plugged

into a live electrical outlet.

The LAN(Ethernet) LED is off.

 Make sure the connection to LAN port is secure.
 The Ethernet device to which you are connected

should be powered on and properly configured.

The G.hn Link/Act/Quality LED is off or red

 Make sure the connection to G.hn port is secure.
 G.hn device to which you are connected should

be powered on and properly configured.

 Make sure the quality of coaxial connector and

cable is good.

The

(WiFi) LED is off

 Power off then power on the G.hn device.

Cannot connect to the Wi-Fi Bridge.

 Make sure if the settings are correct.
 The default SSID and the default WPA/WPA2

pre-shared key are on the label of device.

 Restore the default factory reset by pressing R

button more than 3 sec (LED flashing), then
release the button while LED steady ON.
