Troubleshooting
You can correct most problems you have with your product by consulting the troubleshooting list
that follows. If you need service, please contact your service provider.
Unit won’t turn on
Make sure the unit is plugged in.
Check the wall receptacle (or extension cord) to make sure it is “live” by plugging in
something else.
Gateway appears to be locked up
First, try a power cycle, as this action preserves settings you have made in the gateway
configuration:
remove power to the gateway by disconnecting the power cord for 30
seconds, then reconnect it. Wait for the gateway startup steps to complete, then retry
operation.
As a last resort, press and hold the RESET button on the back of the unit for 15 seconds, then
release. Wait for the gateway startup steps to complete and retry operation. Remember, the
Reset process returns all configuration settings to the factory defaults.
No connection after more than 5 minutes
Make sure all connections are secure and try connecting to your service provider again. Verify
the Internet On/Off button is set to ON (the Online LED will be lit solid). If you still have
problems connecting to the network, contact your service provider.

WAN Side:
Cable TV connection- connects to your cable service
LAN Side:
Ethernet RJ-45 jacks — connect up to four 10 or 100 Mbps Ethernet cables to PCs or to Ethernet
switches to connect more PCs. Each PC must be equipped with an Ethernet network interface, and
must have the TCP/IP protocol configured to operate over that interface.
USB- connects one USB cable to your PC. The PC must be equipped with a USB network interface.
In addition, the USB driver on the DCW725 CD-ROM must be installed on the connected PC, and
the PC must have the TCP/IP protocol configured to operate over that USB interface.
Wireless Card- utilizes the 2.4 GHz wireless 2-way technology built into the DCW725 to reach up
to 254 PCs in your home. Each PC must be equipped with an 802.11b/g Wireless Interface, and
must have the TCP/IP protocol configured to operate over that interface.
