Installing the Gateway


This product is for indoor use only. Do not route the Ethernet cable(s) outside
of the building. Exposure of the cables to lightning could create a safety
hazard and damage the product.

Connect the SBG6400 to Your Computer

Before installing the SBG6400:

Check with your service provider to ensure broadband cable service is available in your area.
To set up a wireless network, you will need a high-speed Internet connection provided by an
Internet service provider.
Note: When contacting your service provider, you may need your gateway information listed on the
gateway label located on the bottom of your SBG6400 (see

Gateway Label

).

Choose a location in your home where your computer and gateway are preferably near existing
cable and electrical wall outlets.
For the best Wi-Fi coverage, a central location in your home or building is recommended.

Note: The following installation procedure covers the wired Ethernet connection process so that you can
confirm that the SBG6400 was properly installed and can connect to the Internet.
