1.3/ GETTING TO KNOW YOUR GATEWAY
1.3a/ FRONT PANEL
The front panel has two lighted indicators and a
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) button.
The Power/Internet light will be on and solid
when your Gateway is turned on, connected to
the Internet, and functioning normally.
The Wireless light will be on when your Gateway
Wi-Fi is turned on.
For additional information on the front lights
and error indications, refer the Troubleshooting
section in this Guide.
The WPS button is used to initiate Wi-Fi Protected Setup. This is an
easy way to add WPS capable devices to your wireless network.
When WPS is initiated from your Gateway, the wireless light slowly
flashes white for up to two minutes, allowing time to complete the WPS
pairing process on your wireless device (also known as a wireless client).
When a device begins connecting to your Gateway using WPS, the
wireless light rapidly flashes white for a few seconds, then turns solid
white as the connection completes.

If there is an error during the WPS pairing process, the wireless light
flashes red rapidly for two minutes after the error occurs.
The WPS button can also be used to reboot the router. To perform a
soft reboot, press and hold the WPS button for at least 10 seconds.
1.3b/ SIDE PANEL
The side panel of your Gateway has a label that contains important
information about your device, including the default settings for the
Gateway’s wireless network name (ESSID), wireless password (WPA2
key), local URL for accessing the Gateway’s administrative pages, and
Gateway administrator password. The label also contains a QR code
that you can scan with your smartphone, tablet, or other camera-
equipped Wi-Fi device to allow you to automatically connect your
device to your Wi-Fi network without typing in a password (requires a
QR code reading app with support for Wi-Fi QR codes).
1.3c/ REAR PANEL
The rear panel of your Gateway has 8 ports; COAX, Ethernet LAN [4],
Ethernet WAN, and USB [2]. The rear panel also includes a DC power
jack and a reset button.

• USB - provides up to 500 mA at 5 VDC for attached devices.
For example, you could charge a cell phone. In the future, with a
firmware upgrade, the USB host functionality may be available for
other devices, such as external storage and cameras. Firmware
updates are performed automatically by Verizon.
• Reset Button - allows you to reset your Gateway to the factory
default settings. To reset the Gateway, press and hold the Reset
button for at least three seconds.
• Ethernet LAN - connects devices to your Gateway using Ethernet
cables to join the local area network (LAN). The four Ethernet LAN
ports are 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-sensing and can be used with
either straight-through or crossover Ethernet cables.
• HAN Expansion Port - provides for future hardware upgrades to
add support for Home Area Networking capabilities.
• Ethernet WAN - connects your Gateway to the Internet using an
Ethernet cable.
• Coax WAN and LAN - connects your Gateway to the Internet and/or
to other MoCA devices using a coaxial cable.
Warning: The WAN Coax Port is intended for connection to Verizon FiOS
only. It must not be connected to any exterior or interior coaxial wires not
designated for Verizon FiOS.
• Power - connects your Gateway to an electrical wall outlet using the
supplied power adapter.
Warning: The included power adapter is for home use only, supporting
voltages from 100-240Vac. Do not use in environments with greater than
240Vac.
GETTING TO KNOW
THE GATEWAY

1.3d/ MOUNTING THE GATEWAY TO A WALL
For optimum performance, the FiOS Quantum Gateway is designed to
stand in a vertical upright position. Verizon does not recommend wall
mounting the FiOS Quantum Gateway. However, if you wish to mount
your Gateway, you can purchase a wall mount bracket from the Verizon
FiOS Accessories Store at verizon.com/fiosaccessories.
If you are replacing an existing Verizon wall mounted router, you do
not need to remove the mounting screws from the wall. The existing
mounting screws will fit the new bracket.
To mount your Gateway to a wall:
1. Remove the foot by turning the Gateway upside down
and removing the single screw that holds the foot to the
Gateway.
2. Slide the foot toward the front of the Gateway and pull the
foot from the holes. You may need to wiggle the foot slightly.
3. You may use the wall mount bracket as a template for
positioning the Gateway.

GETTING TO KNOW
THE GATEWAY
4. Mark the mounting holes,
then remove the wall mount
bracket from the wall.
5. Drill holes for the screw
anchors.
6. Insert the screw anchors
in the holes in the wall,
then insert the screws into
the screw anchors and tighten the screws. Leave screws
extended about 0.2 inches from the wall.
7. Verify the screws are positioned correctly by placing the wall
bracket on the screws. Remove the wall bracket from the
wall.
8. Place the Gateway on the wall bracket and slide the Gateway
forward until it locks in place.
9. To secure the Gateway,
attach the bracket
to the Gateway using
the single screw you
removed from the foot.
10. Slide the wall mount
bracket with the
attached Gateway on
the screws, then slide
the bracket down until
it locks in place.

SETTING UP
YOUR GATEWAY
Connecting your Gateway and accessing
its web-based Graphical User Interface
(GUI) are both simple procedures.
Accessing the GUI may vary slightly,
depending on your device’s operating
system and web browser.

02 / CONNECTING
2.0/ SETTING UP YOUR GATEWAY
There are three basic steps to setting up your Gateway:
Step 1: Connect your Gateway to the Internet
Step 2: Connect your network device to your Gateway
Step 3: Configure your Gateway
Before you begin, if you are replacing an existing Gateway, disconnect
it. Remove all old Gateway components, including the power supply.
They will not work with your new Gateway.
2.0a/ STEP 1 - CONNECT YOUR GATEWAY
1. Remove your Gateway, Ethernet cables, and power adapter
from the box.
2. Locate your high-speed Internet (WAN) outlet. This would be
the wall jack installed previously by Verizon. Note the type of
jack may be either Ethernet or coaxial.
3. Connect your Gateway to the Internet (WAN).
• If connecting the WAN using Ethernet,
use the supplied white Ethernet cable
and plug one end into the white Ethernet
WAN port on the back of your Gateway.
Plug the other end of the cable into the
high-speed Ethernet wall jack.
verizon.com/fios | ©2014 Verizon. All Rights Reserved.

• If connecting the WAN using coaxial cable,
locate a coaxial cable and connect one
end to the coax port on the back of your
Gateway. Connect the other end of the
coaxial cable to a coax wall jack.
Tighten the coaxial cables by hand until
snug. The cables should not require a
wrench.
4. Plug the power cord into the power port on the back of
your Gateway and then into a power outlet. The Gateway
automatically turns on as soon as power is plugged in.
Important: Wait until the Power/Internet light on
the front of the Gateway stops flashing and is
solid white. If the light turns red, check the trouble-
shooting steps in the Troubleshooting section
of the user guide.
2.0b/ STEP 2 - CONNECT YOUR DEVICE TO YOUR GATEWAY
If connecting a device using wired Ethernet (preferred for initial setup):
• Plug one end of the supplied yellow Ethernet cable into one of
the four yellow Ethernet ports in the back of your Gateway.
Alternatively, you can use your own Ethernet cable of any color
to connect from the yellow Ethernet ports on the back of your
Gateway to your device with an Ethernet connector.
• Plug the other end of the yellow Ethernet cable into the Ethernet
port of your network device.
