What’s Inside the Box
Locate the Fioptics Wiring
The data jack is typically labeled and may be near the TV, or in the home office. It will have a blue or orange port. It’s important not to confuse the data jack with a standard telephone jack.
Alternatively, you can connect directly to your ONT. Your ONT is typically
located in the basement or a garage. If you don’t find it easily, you can look
on the outside of your house and find where the black fiber cable enters your
home. Many times, you’ll find the ONT on the other side of the wall, or close
by. Ensure your ONT is plugged in and the power indicator is lit.
Connect the Gateway
Once you’ve located the data jack or ONT, you are ready to connect the
equipment. Start by plugging one end of the provided Ethernet cable into the
blue WAN port on your gateway. Plug the other end into the data jack, or into
port 1 on the ONT. Make sure the ONT is plugged in and powered on.
Power It Up
Now it’s time to power up the equipment. Plug the power adapter into a nearby
wall outlet and connect it to the power port of your gateway.
Connect your Computer
If you have a computer that will be hard-wired to the Internet, connect it next. Just attach another Ethernet cable between the Ethernet port of your computer and any of the yellow, Ethernet LAN ports of the gateway.
If you only have wireless devices, we’ll discuss connecting those to Wi-Fi a
little bit later.
Verify the Connections
Once power is connected, the indicator lights on the front of the gateway will begin to blink.
The power light will blink while the gateway initializes. When it’s complete, the light will become steady green. The Ethernet LAN indicator light will blink if you’ve hardwired a computer to the gateway. It will light up green when they are connected.
The Ethernet WAN light will then begin to blink while the gateway syncs up with the Fioptics Internet Network. When the light turns green it means you have a good connection. When the Internet indicator light turns green, you are connected to the Internet and can begin surfing the web.
Connect to Wi-Fi
Your gateway also comes with built-in Wi-Fi, so you can connect your mobile devices to Fioptics Internet, wirelessly. The WLAN/WPS indicator on the front of the gateway will light up when it’s ready for wireless connections.
To connect your devices to Wi-Fi, you will need to locate your SSID (Network Name) and WPA2-PSK (Password). These will be found on the silver label attached to the side of your Zyxel 4381. In your device’s Wi-Fi settings, select your Network. In the below example, this would be ZyXEL31087. Your password in the below example would be D123456789.
You are now connected to the Fastest Internet in town with Fioptics from altafiber.
