Our Quick Setup Guide is designed to get you up and running as simply and quickly as possible. The rst step gets you online using the Ethernet cable.
Step 1: Plug into power
Plug one end of the power adapter into the wall socket and the other end into your home gateway. After a few seconds, the LED lights will start blinking.

Step 2: Establish an Internet connection
Once powered on, the home gateway will automatically connect to our vividwireless network, and the LED’s will start to blink:
If one green LED is blinking it’s searching for a signal
If two green LED’s are blinking it’s connecting to the network
If three green LED’s are blinking it’s nalising your connection
Step 3: Position the home gateway
When the LED’s have stopped blinking, the number of lit LED’s shows you how strong your signal is.

One green LED is on: the signal is weak
Two green LEDs are on: the signal is good
Three green LEDs are on: the signal is excellent
If your signal is weak, move the home gateway around the house watching the LED lights as you move. Find the place where the signal is excellent and leave the device there.
TIP: There may be numerous places around your home where you can get good signal. Windows are often best.
Step 4: Connect your computer
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to your home gateway’s Ethernet port and the other end to your computer/laptop Ethernet port.
When you’ve done that, the Ethernet port green LED will light up. The Ethernet port amber LED may blink, indicating that data is being transferred between your computer/laptop and the home gateway (These are good signs!).
