Connecting the Power Cable
1.
Connect one end of the power supply cable to the
POWER
port of your i38HG (
Figure 4
).
2.
Connect the other end of power supply cable to a 3-prong AC electrical outlet.
3.
Observe the
POWER
indicator; it flashes red once, followed by flashing green, then remains solid green.
Connecting Your Computer to the i38HG
There are two ways to connect your computer to the i38HG: via Ethernet or wireless. With either connection,
the first computer you connect to the network is used to configure the i38HG for proper operation.
Connecting via Ethernet Ports
You can directly connect up to four computers to the i38HG using the Ethernet connection. Connect one
end of the Ethernet cable (yellow) to any available ETHERNET port (yellow) on the i38HG and the other end
to the computer's Ethernet port (
Figure 6
).
You are now ready to start your system (refer to the
Setting up System Information
section).

Note:
For safety reasons, do not modify electrical outlets that do not have a
3-prong plug with a 3-prong adapter.
Note:
Refer to the
Finding Solutions
section if the indicator does not stay
green.
Note:
The Ethernet cable is supplied by your service provider. Use a CAT5
cable if you need additional or longer Ethernet cable.

Installing Your i38HG
13
Connecting via Wireless
Your i38HG has an integrated wireless access point (AP) that enables you to connect your wireless-enabled
computers to your home network. By default, the i38HG is shipped with WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK
enabled
and a preconfigured network name. Refer to the
Configuring Wireless Network
section to configure your
wireless network.
You can connect up to eight i38HGs (that is, APs) in your home. When multiple APs are detected, they are
automatically synchronized across all managed access points to create a single wireless network for easier
device connectivity. The default service set identifier (SSID) and wireless key is based on the last three
digits of the serial number on the first access point that was connected. If you have multiple APs installed,
refer to the label on your first installed AP only. All subsequent access points are automatically
synchronized with the default SSID or with any custom SSID you define subsequent to initial installation.
Most laptop computers are equipped with an internal 802.11b/g card. If your computer is not equipped
with an internal card, you can install an external wireless adapter for wireless networking. The 2Wire
wireless adapter provides a 2Wire Setup Wizard that automatically configures it to communicate with the
i38HG during setup. If you are using a non-2Wire wireless adapter, you must manually configure it to
communicate with the i38HG. Refer to the
Configuring non-2Wire Wireless Adapters
section to install a
wireless network adapter.
Configuring non-2Wire Wireless Adapters
If you are using a non-2Wire wireless adapter, you must manually configure it to communicate with the
i38HG. This section provides instructions to configure your adapter with WPA. You can use WEP if your
wireless adapter does not support WPA; however, this decreases the level of security provided for wireless
traffic.
1.
Install and configure your wireless adapter according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2.
Use the network adapter configuration software or Windows network connection wizard to set the
network name (SSID) and encryption key (WPA).
3.
Enter
2WIRE
(in capital letters) as the network name, followed by the last three digits of the i38HG
serial number (for example, 2WIRE110), located on the bottom of your i38HG (
Figure 7
).
Note:
If you have multiple APs, use the last three digits of the first i38HG
connected to the network.

Figure 7: Wireless Network Name and Encryption Key Location
4.
Enter the encryption key that is located inside the brackets beneath the bar code on the bottom of your
i38HG, (for example, 1234567890).
Note:
For Mac OS X users, you may need to enter the “$” character at the
beginning of the encryption key (for example, $1234567890).

Setting up System Information
After the i38HG is properly connected and the first time you access the i3812V user interface, it is a good
idea to change the default password. You do not need to adjust the local date and time as they are set
nightly by the service provider.
This section provides the browser requirements and instructions to:
