How do I set up WiFi connection on my Gateway?
The gateway can be connected to the internet in two ways.
Via an Ethernet cable plugged in to your router/internet access point (recommended) or by WiFi connection.
Please note: WiFi connections are affected by structural barriers like walls or buildings and are generally less stable. By using WiFi you may experience an intermittent connection.
