Understanding Your G.hn Coax Adapter
NOTE: The following steps show how to create or add onto a G.hn Coax Network (A minimum of two G.hn Coax Adapters are
required to create a proper connection.)
If this is the first time you are setting up a G.hn Coax Network please continue to Section B.
If you already have an established G.hn Coax Network, and are adding an additional adapter please skip to Section C. Follow
Steps 4-8 to add additional G.hn Adapters to your network.
Creating a New G.hn Coax Network
1.
Plug the power supply into the Coax Adapter and into the power outlet nearest to the network device (Eg. Modem, Router, or
Access Point). The LEDs will briefly turn on.
2. Connect the coaxial cable to the “
IN
” of the Coax Adapter and to a cable wall outlet.
3. Ensure that your network device is powered on. Connect the Coax Adapter to the LAN port of the network device with an
Ethernet cable. Wait for 10 seconds for the Coax Adapter’s
