router or other hard-wired connection. Rotate the
antennae up on the gateway.
NOTICE: We recommend the use of an uninterrupted
power supply for your internet modem, home router
and the gateway power supply.
2. Using the supplied 1 meter Ethernet cable (or longer
cable if necessary), connect the gateway to an open
network port.
3. Connect the gateway power supply to a 115 VAC
outlet, plug into the back of the gateway.

green with an occasional blink your gateway is
connected to the VWA servers.
If not, refer to Gateway Troubleshooting.
