Gateway
You will connect the Cable Gateway to your Cable service’s coaxial cable line
and to the computers in your home or business. With the Cable Gateway, you
can use a standard Ethernet connection or connect via USB. For Ethernet con-
nection continue with the Ethernet Cable Connection section. For USB con-
nection, go to the next section, USB Cable Connection.
First, make sure that all the devices that you’ll be working with are powered
down, including your PCs and the Cable Gateway.
