Gateway Quick Start Guide

Introduction

Use this Quick Start Guide to install, configure, and perform basic troubleshooting for the NVG578LX/NVG578LX1/NVG578HLX and NVG568LX/NVG568HLX gateways.
Power supply installation
Connect the power supply cord to the Power In connector on the gateway and the other end into an appropriate electrical outlet.
Product ventilation
The gateway is intended for residential use. Position the gateway in a vertical position where the temperature remains within a range of 32° — 104°F (0° — 40°C) and heat from the unit itself is not trapped. There must be at least two inches (2″) of clearance on all sides except the bottom.
Gateway positioning, status indicator lights, and port configuration
Proper positioning of the gateway is essential for proper cooling. Colored LEDs on the gateway indicate the status of various port activities.

NOTE: Please see the product label placed on the base of your unit for the model number.

2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on a local computer.

USB port: To connect the gateway to the USB port:

1. Connect a USB cable to the USB port on the back of the gateway.
2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to your device.

Configuring your gateway

1. Add a wireless device to the gateway
   To add a wireless device to the gateway, use your phone or tablet to scan the QR code on the side of the gateway. Once connected follow steps 3 and 4 below to access the Web Management Interface and make changes to the Wi-Fi network. If your device is unable to scan the QR code, locate the Wi-Fi name and password information on the label on the side and base of the gateway and enter this information into your device.

2. Add a wired device to the gateway
   To add a wired device to the gateway, such as a PC or laptop, connect an Ethernet cable between your device and the gateway. Once connected follow step 3 below to access the Web Management Interface and make changes to the gateway.

3. Access the Web Management Interface
   Using the same device you connected to the gateway from either Step 1 or 2, open a web browser on your device (such as Firefox, Chrome, or Microsoft Edge) and type the following address in the address bar: http://192.168.1.254 You will be presented with a Web Interface similar to the one shown on the right. If you attempt to make changes to any of the gateway settings, you will be presented with a screen asking for the Device Access Code. This can be found on the product label on the base of the gateway. Enter the Device Access Code on the web page and select Continue. You will now be able to make changes to the gateway settings.

4. To make changes to the Wi-Fi Network name/password
   Continuing from Step 3, make changes to the default Wi-Fi name/password:
   1. Using the interface shown in your web browser, select the Wi-Fi section.
   2. Make changes to the SSID (network name) and/or password, and select Apply when complete.

5. To disable the Wi-Fi Network
   1. Using the interface shown in your web browser, select the Wi-Fi section.
   2. Disable the Wi-Fi network, and select Apply when complete.
   Note: If your service provider operates a community Wi-Fi service that might include your unit, please contact them to disable this service.

NOTE: This is a reference image and may slightly differ based on your device.
