To set up your internet connection, you’ll initially need to use a computer
(Windows or Mac) with an Ethernet port and web browser, and connected by
the yellow Ethernet cable to a LAN port in the Gateway. Your computer needs
to be within reach of the phone socket for ADSL or VDSL broadband services,
or the optical network termination point for fibre broadband services.
Once you’ve established your internet connection, you’ll then be able to set
up a wireless WiFi (wireless) network and connect wirelessly.
2.1 BROADBAND SERVICE AUTO CONFIGURATION
The HG630b Gateway automatically configures itself to the active connection type it
discovers – ADSL, VDSL2, Fibre or via USB Mobile Broadband T-Stick.*
Should you change connection type at any time, simply reboot your gateway
and it will connect to the new service without altering your gateway settings.
*
The HG630b supports a range of Spark USB mobile broadband T-Sticks. By using
a mobile broadband connection through this gateway, you will incur charges on your
mobile broadband plan not covered by your home or fixed line broadband plan.
A list of Spark T-Sticks supported by the HG630b can be found at
www.spark.co.nz/help
2. GETTING STARTED

If you have an ADSL or VDSL broadband connection, skip this step.
To receive a fibre broadband service, your premises must have a fibre cable connection.
To set up your fibre broadband connection you must use a computer with an
ethernet port and a web browser. Due to the length of the cables supplied, you must
set up close to the fibre optical network termination (or ONT) point. Once your fibre
broadband is working, you can unplug the ethernet cable and use the Gateway’s
wireless (Wi-Fi) network.
Connect one end of the blue tipped Fibre Ethernet Cable into the blue WAN port
in the Gateway and the other end into the port labelled GE1 in the Fibre ONT
(Chorus Fibre ONT illustrated).
When complete, skip to step 6.

If you have an ADSL or fibre broadband connection, skip this step.
To receive a VDSL2 broadband service you must have a VDSL Splitter installed by a
technician as part of your connection agreement
To set up your VDSL2 broadband connection you must use a computer with an
ethernet port and a web browser. Due to the length of the cables supplied, you must
set up close to the VDSL2 connection point. Once broadband is working you can
unplug the ethernet cable and use the Gateway’s wireless (Wi-Fi) network.
Connect the VDSL2 cable to the DSL port on the Gateway and the VDSL2
connection point.
Note: the small connector (RJ11) should go into the DSL port in the Gateway
and the large connector (RJ45) should go into the VDSL2 connection point.
When complete skip to step 6.

If you have a VDSL or fibre broadband connection, skip this step.
ADSL filters are required for every phone socket in use, including phone lines, faxes
or digital TV decoders. Filters remove interference on your phone lines and improve
your broadband service.
If you use 4 or more phone sockets in your home, have a monitored security or
medical alarm, Spark strongly recommend you have an ADSL Splitter installed by a
technician.
Call Spark on 0800 22 55 98 to arrange installation or to order more ADSL filters.
a. Connect the ADSL filter to the phone socket.
b. If you use a telephone, fax machine or TV decoder etc. at the same phone socket,
connect that device into the ADSL filter socket marked PHONE.
c. Connect the ADSL cable into the ADSL filter socket marked ADSL.
d. Connect the other end of the ADSL cable into the Gateway port marked DSL.

Please wait up to 5 minutes for the Gateway to establish a broadband connection.
Your Gateway lights will tell you when the connection is working correctly.
If the Power light is off – check Step 7.
For ADSL and VDSL2 connections, the lights should be as follows:
The Power and DSL lights should be solid GREEN and not blinking.
The Internet and LAN1 lights should be GREEN and blinking.
For a Fibre connection, the lights should be as follows:
The Power and WAN lights should be solid GREEN and not blinking.
The Internet and LAN1 lights should be GREEN and blinking.
When the Gateway lights are correct, open a web browser on your computer
such as Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox or Chrome. If your connection is working
you will see a valid web page and be able to surf the internet.
If not, restart your computer, open an internet browser and try again.
If after 5 minutes the DSL light is off or flashing:
yCheck Step 3 if you have a fibre connection
yCheck Step 4 if you have a VDSL2 connection
yCheck Step 5 if you have an ADSL connection. If the DSL light remains off or
flashing, you may have a faulty phone socket. Try connecting using another
phone socket.
If the LAN1 light is off – check Step 6. Ensure the ethernet cable is correctly
connected to the ethernet port of your computer, and a LAN port on your Gateway.
If the DSL light (for ADSL or VDSL2) or WAN light (for fibre) remains off or flashing,
or if you continue to experience problems, call our Broadband Helpdesk
on 0800 22 55 98.
