  1. Carefully insert the fiber-optic cable or SFP module into the respective FIBER or SFP port on the rear panel of your residential gateway.
  2. Ensure that the fiber-optic cable or SFP module clicks into place and is located securely to establish a reliable connection.

WARNING

Please use only the power supply and cord that came with your residential gateway. Using any other power supply or cord may result in electric shock, fire, bodily injury, and/or property damage. If you notice any damage to the power supply or cord or if it needs to be replaced, please contact your service provider to obtain an authorized replacement.

Connecting devices to your residential gateway

You can connect computers or other suitable electronic devices to your residential gateway via Ethernet or Wi-Fi.

Connecting devices using wired Ethernet
To connect devices using wired Ethernet:
