Need more help?
No TV or Internet service:
Check your connections: Cables usually make an audible click when secure.
Check Power: Power light on the Wi-Fi Gateway and the LED light on the power unit should
be green; if not, try another electrical outlet
Check Service light on front of the Wi-Fi Gateway: If after 15 minutes, the light is red or
off, power down the Wi-Fi Gateway by holding down red reset button for 15 seconds.
TV Receivers not responding: Confirm Service light is solid green on the Wi-Fi Gateway.
If so, hold the TV receiver’s power button down for 10 seconds and release, then wait five minutes.
Wi-Fi Gateway power light is amber: Don’t worry. This is a normal part of the power up sequence.
