TECHNICIAN INSTALLATION
A field technician visit may be required for your service installation. If a technician visit
is required you will receive a phone call from Primus confirming your appointment
time and any additional details.
If a technician visit is not required or you are setting up a replacement gateway, please
follow the instructions below and you’ll be up and running in minutes.
CONNECT COAXIAL CABLE
Connect the coaxial cable (that was installed by the field technician) to the cable
connector on the gateway.
CONNECT POWER TO WI-FI HOME GATEWAY
Plug the power adapter into the power connector of the gateway.
Plug the other end of the power adapter into a power outlet.
Primus recommends using a surge protector for best performance.
The LED “Power” light on the front of the gateway will be solid green.
The network registration process will begin and can take up to 30 minutes.
DO NOT unplug the gateway during this time.
The gateway is ready after the LED “Online” light on the front of your
gateway is solid green.
CONNECT DEVICE TO WI-FI HOME GATEWAY
You can connect via Wi-Fi. See reverse for details.
Alternatively, you can connect your computer directly into the gateway with an
Ethernet cable.
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port (LAN 1) on the gateway.
Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on your computer.
You may connect up to 3 additional computers to the Ethernet ports located on
your gateway.
If the “Online” LED fails to turn on, do a factory reset by using a paper clip to push
the reset button on the back of the gateway and hold for 10 seconds. Then complete
the steps above once more. If the Internet LED still is not solid green, please contact
Technical Support for further assistance at 1-800-506-5552.

Thank you for choosing Primus.
CONNECTING YOUR WIRELESS NETWORK
Primus clients do not need to configure wireless security on the wireless gateway; the
gateway is already set up with a unique security key. You will be prompted to enter a
WPA key when attempting to connect a laptop or other device to the wireless network;
the WPA key can be found on the bottom of your gateway. Once the “2.4G” and “5G”
lights are green, your wireless network is operational. If one or both lights are not lit,
you can use the “Wi-Fi On/Off” button on the back of your gateway to cycle through
settings until both lights are on. Please note the USB port on the back of the gateway
is functional, however Primus does not support its features.
