With the channel bonding connectivity, the Gateway allows for the aggregation of multiple downstream and upstream channels and brings up to 5 Gbps for download speed and 1 Gbps for upload speed. The Gateway is also compliant with the IEEE 802.11ax specification while maintaining full backwards compatibility with the 802.11ac/a/b/
g/n standards. IEEE 802.11ax is the new addition of the IEEE 802.11 standards, running at dual-band of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band types, as well as co-existing with the 802.11ac/11n network. It delivers wide bandwidth of up to 160 MHz, and reliable high data rates of up to 4.8 Gbps. The Wi-Fi 6 Cable Gateway supports four wired gigabit LAN ports, one F-type coax WAN port, one FXS RJ-11 port for telephony, and 802.11ax dual-band wireless capabilities. It provides high speed transmission rate for data/voice/video triple-play services. The Wi-Fi 6 Cable Gateway delivers sufficient bandwidth to stream HD video, listen to digital music, play online games, transfer large files, voice service, and surf the Internet simultaneously.

These values confirm that your Wireless Wi-Fi 6 Cable Gateway is functioning correctly. 4. Type exit and press the Enter key to close the Command Prompt window. Manual TCP/IP Settings Follow steps 1-5 in Windows 7 on page 3. Select Use the following IP Address. 1. 2. 3. Enter an IP address based on the default network 192.168.0.x
(where x is between 2 and 254), and use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask. Use 192.168.0.1 for the Default gateway field. Select Use the following DNS server addresses. 4. 5. Enter the IP address for the Wi-Fi 6 Cable Gateway in the Preferred DNS server field. This automatically relays DNS requests to the DNS server(s) provided by your ISP. Otherwise, add a specific DNS server into the Alternate DNS Server field and click OK to close the dialogue boxes. Record the configured information in the following table. TCP/IP Configuration Setting IP Address ____.____.____.____ Subnet Mask ____.____.____.____ Preferred DNS Server ____.____.____.____ Alternate DNS Server ____.____.____.____ Default Gateway ____.____.____.____ Macintosh Computer You may find that the instructions here do not exactly match your operating system. This is because these steps and screen shots were created using Mac OS 10.2. Mac OS 7.x and above are similar, but may not be identical to Mac OS 10.2. Follow these instructions:
