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 Telecom 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 Telecom T-Sticks supported by the HG630b can be found at
www.telecom.co.nz/help

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, Telecom strongly recommend you have an ADSL Splitter installed by
a technician.
Call Telecom 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.
a. Connect the yellow Ethernet cable into LAN port number 1 (LAN1) in the
back of the Gateway.
b. Connect the other end of the ethernet cable into the ethernet port on
your computer.
Look for this symbol on your computer if you are not sure.

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.
8.1 NEW TELECOM ACCOUNTS
If you are an existing Telecom customer skip this step.
When you are successfully connected to the Internet, you should activate your
Telecom broadband account. In the browser address bar type
www.telecom.co.nz/broadbandsetup press enter and follow the online activation steps.
Before you begin, ensure you can connect to the internet using the Ethernet connection.
Your Gateway has a Wi-Fi network ready to use out of the box. Your Gateway has a
unique SSID (or Network Name) and WLAN Key (or Wireless Password or Key) to make
connecting using Wi-Fi easy. These details are found on the information label on the
rear of the Gateway.
The Wi-Fi network is designed to provide a strong level of network security. To keep
your network secure, keep your SSID/WLAN Key out of public view.
To connect a wireless enabled device (computer, tablet, mobile phone etc) using the
default SSID and WLAN Key, complete the following steps:
1. Use your device’s network connection manager or wizard to search for your Wi-Fi
network. If you are not sure how to do this, refer to the help function for your
device’s operating system, or the manufacturer’s website or help desk.
2. Find and select your wireless SSID.Example: Telecom-T23456
3. When prompted enter yourWLAN Key. Example: TT73H9VSK7
4. If the device connection manager allows you to save your SSID and WLAN Key
details then do so. Otherwise you may have to repeat these steps each time
you connect.
5. On your device open a web browser such as Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox or
Chrome. If the a web page loads correctly and you can surf the internet, you are
connected to your Wi-Fi network.

This Gateway supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Set-Up) which is a quick method
of connecting a WPS enabled device to the Gateway. The connecting device must
support WPS and have wireless turned on. Check your device manual or the
manufacturer’s website to confirm WPS support.
To connect, press the WPS button on the side of the Gateway for at least 2 seconds and
within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on the connecting device. The WPS button will
be a physical button on a device like a printer, or virtual such as a software button on a
computer, mobile phone or tablet.
The two devices will establish a connection and the Gateway will recognise the
wireless device.
This WiFi connection will remain until the Gateway is factory reset.

WARNING! A factory reset restores the Gateway to the default settings –
all remembered Wi-Fi connections and any user customisations are erased.
Most users should only perform a factory reset when you are directed to
by the broadband helpdesk.
To factory reset your Gateway, do the following:
1. While the Gateway is turned on, insert a paper clip into the Reset hole in the back,
press down for 8 to 10 seconds, then release.
2. The Gateway will reset and then restart. This can take up to 5 minutes.
3. After a factory reset, you must manually reconnect each Wi-Fi device and redo
any customisations.
The most effective method to keep your Gateway secure is to keep your Gateway
and Wi-Fi password details in a safe place and protect against unauthorised physical
access to your Gateway.
Your Gateway settings are password protected with an administrator login.
The default username = admin
The default password = admin
Telecom recommends you create a unique password to protect access to your
Gateway. To do this, you need to use the Gateway’s User Interface:
1. Open a web browser, type 192.168.1.254 into the address bar and press enter.
This will take you to the User Interface.
2. Enter the Username and Password and click on Login.
3. Click on the Maintenance tab on left side menu to access the Account menu;
then click on Account.
4. When prompted, enter the current Gateway Username (by default admin)
and Password (by default admin); then enter your new password and confirm it,
then click Submit. Your password is changed.
The next time you want to change your Gateway settings you must log in using your
unique password.
Note: If you forget your Administrator password you will need to reset the Gateway to
factory default, (see step 13).

yWhen starting up the Gateway do not press any buttons. Wait for a broadband
connection to be established first.
yMany issues with a broadband connection can be resolved by turning the Gateway
off for 30 seconds, then on again. It can take up to 5 minutes for the connection
to re-establish.
yCustomers with computers running Microsoft Windows should reboot their
computers at the same time they reboot their Gateway.
yOperate the Gateway on a flat surface and ensure the Gateway is not covered
by anything and has adequate ventilation at all times.
yADSL broadband customers should:
yNot use telephone extension cables with the Gateway as these cause speed
and stability problems.
yUse the ADSL filters supplied with this Gateway when setting up as old filters
can cause speed and stability problems.
yIf you want to network additional devices using the ethernet LAN ports, you will
require one ethernet cable for each device.
yWi-Fi signal strength and range is dependent on physical and environmental
factors outside of Telecom’s control. The following tips will help you optimise
your Wi-Fi signal:
yDense obstacles such as walls, floors, ceilings, hot water cylinders,
aquariums etc. limit Wi-Fi performance and range.
yDo not place the Gateway near electronic devices such as microwave ovens,
cordless phones or wireless transmitters like baby or room monitors.
yDo not place the Gateway in an enclosed space such as a cupboard, under
or behind a desk or large item of furniture.
yTo benefit from the speed offered by the 802.11n standard, it is recommended
to connect using 802.11n wireless devices only. Connecting older 802.11b
or 802.11g wireless devices may slow down the speed of your whole
Wi-Fi network.
yIf you have Wi-Fi coverage issues, you can opt to purchase products such
as Wi-Fi range extenders.
yWhere possible place your Gateway up high for better Wi-Fi performance.
