FGA2235 Quick Setup Guide Technicolor Delivery Technologies www.technicolor.com 1. Before you start Carefully read the Safety Instructions and Regulatory Notices document included in your package before continuing with the installation of your gateway. Caution!
Do not look directly into the fibre source or into the end of a connected fibre cable. Do not bend the fibre cable. Overbending the fibre cable may cause internal damage to the fibre cable. Do not touch the fibre cable ends. They must remain clean to ensure optimal performance. 2. Check the content of your package Your package contains the following items:
A A B B C C D Item Description A B One FGA2235 gateway User Documentation (this Quick Setup Guide, Safety Instructions &
Regulatory Notices). Other additional documents may be included. One power adapter (type may differ depending on region) One yellow Ethernet cable (with yellow connectors) C D 1 3. Connect your gateway to the Broadband service Choose your installation method To connect your gateway to the Internet you can either:
Directly connect your gateway to your service providers fiber network. In this setup your gateway is used as Fiber gateway. Follow the instructions from Option A:
Connect as Fiber Gateway on page2. Place your gateway behind another Internet access device. In this setup your gateway is used as local Ethernet router. Follow the instructions from Option B:
Connect as local Ethernet router on page2. Option A: Connect as Fiber Gateway 1 Insert the connector in the port. 2 Take the other end of the fibre cable, remove the protective cap from the connector and then insert the connector in the optical termination point. Option B: Connect as local Ethernet router WAN 1 Plug the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet WAN port on your gateway. 2 2 Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port of your Internet access device. 4. Connect your telephones to your gateway (optional) Connect your corded phone or DECT base station to the green port. 5. Power on your gateway 1 Plug the connector of the electric power supply adapter into the power inlet port

3 6. Connect your network devices We recommend you to first connect one computer/tablet (if possible via a wired connection), then complete the rest of the procedure and as a final step connect the other devices. 6.1. Connect your wired (Ethernet) devices If you want to connect a device using a wired (Ethernet) connection:
1 Take the yellow Ethernet cable. 2 Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to one of the yellow Ethernet ports of your gateway. 3 Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to your device. 4 Connect your other Ethernet devices. 5 We recommend you to first configure your gateway (see 7. Configure your gateway to your needs (optional) on page6) before connecting your WiFi devices (see 6.2. Connect your WiFi devices on page4). 6.2. Connect your WiFi devices Your gateway has two WiFi access points:
The 5 GHz access point offers superior transfer rates, is less sensitive to interference and allows you to connect WiFi6 (IEEE802.11a/n/ac/ax) devices that support 5GHz. The 2.4 GHz access point allows you to connect WiFi6 (IEEE802.11b/g/n/ac/ax) devices. Use this access point for WiFi devices that dont support 5GHz. Your gateway supports band steering, a function that lets your gateway automatically select the best access point for each of your connected WiFi devices. If band steering is enabled both access points will appear as one. 4 WiFi settings label The label of your gateway provides useful information about your WiFi network:
The Network Name. This name is used to identify your WiFi network. Some use the term SSID instead. The Wireless Key. This key is used to secure your WiFi network. Only devices that use this key can connect to the WiFi network. You can enter this key manually or configure it automatically using WPS. If band steering is disabled, each access point will have its own Network Name and Wireless Key. Tips To achieve optimal link quality:
Always try to reduce the number of obstacles (especially walls) between your WiFi devices to a minimum. Do not place your WiFi devices in the neighbourhood of devices that cause interference (microwave ovens, cordless phones, baby monitors, etc.). Connecting a WiFi device using WPS Push Button Configuration
(PBC) 1 Make sure that your WiFi devices supports WPS PBC and you know how to start it. For more information, consult the documentation of your WiFi device. 2 On your gateway, briefly press the WPS (
) button and release it. The WPS (
) LED starts blinking green slowly. 3 Within two minutes, start WPS PBC on your WiFi device. You will probably have to do this in one of the following ways:
Press a WPS (
Start WPS (PBC) on the user interface of your WiFi device. Open a list of available networks and select the Network Name mentioned on
) button on your WiFi device. the label of your gateway. 4 After a few seconds, your WiFi device should be connected. If the WPS (
) LED becomes solid RED, then your gateway could not connect your WiFi device. For more information, see The WPS LED is Solid RED on page6. 5 Connecting a WiFi device manually On your WiFi device, proceed as follows:
1 Open the list of available WiFi networks and select the entry that contains the Network Name from the label. 2 Your WiFi device will ask you to enter the WiFi key or password. 3 Enter the Wireless Key reported on gateway label and wait for the device to be connected to the WiFi network. 7. Configure your gateway to your needs (optional) The gateway web interface allows you to configure your gateway using your web browser. To access the gateway web user interface:
1 Browse to http://192.168.1.1 on a computer or device that is currently connected to your gateway (either wired or over WiFi). 2 You will be asked to insert user name and password. Default user name is admin and password is ACCESS KEY as indicated on the product label. 8. Troubleshooting 8.1. WPS troubleshooting WPS does not start Make sure that the WiFi is on. You can check the gateway web interface. See 7. Configure your gateway to your needs (optional) on page6 for more information. The WPS LED is Solid RED This indicates that your gateway could not connect to your WiFi device. Do the following:
1 Wait two minutes and then start WPS again. 2 Turn your gateway slightly and then try again. 3 Obstructions may deteriorate the signal strength. Try to minimize the number of walls between the two devices and then try again. 4 Move the devices closer to each other and then try again. 8.2. How to reset your gateway If at some point you want to restore the default settings, proceed as follows:
1 Make sure that your gateway is turned on. 6 2 Use a pen or an unfolded paperclip to push the recessed Reset button on your gateway for at least 10 seconds and then release it. 3 Your gateway restarts and applies the factory default settings. Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. 9.
