Like everything else with welo, installation of your gateway is oh-so-simple. Here’s how to install your equipment:

1. Connect the coaxial cable. Connect one end of the cable to a coaxial wall outlet. Choose an outlet located as centrally as possible within your home. Connect the other end to the round connector on the back of the gateway ( a ).
2. Plug in the power cord. Plug one end into an electrical (120V) wall outlet, and the other end into the back of the WiFi 6 gateway ( b ).
3. **Sit back and relax. **Gateway synchronization will now begin and the lights on the gateway will flash while this is happening. This process may take up to 25 minutes and the gateway may shut off and restart a number of times during this process. When lights #1 to 4 become solid (not flashing) it means the process is complete and your gateway is ready for use.
4. Plug any removed Ethernet cables back in. If you previously removed any Ethernet cables connected to your personal wired devices (computer, gaming system, etc.) you may now plug them back into any of the available Ethernet ports on the back of your WiFi 6 gateway ( c ).

Where should you place your new gateway? 

• Central to the areas where you use the Internet most often.
• Close to devices you need to connect by Ethernet or phone cables, such as desktop computer, printer, gaming system, etc.
• Preferably 3 feet from the ground.
• In an open space, away from any obstacle that may block the WiFi signal, such as wireless electronics, or materials such as metal, concrete or mirrored surfaces.
