Enter a new password and confirm.
Do not forget this logon information or you will be forced to reset the Thomson Gateway back
to its default configuration.
Default wireless security settings
Also for wireless connections to your Thomson Gateway, by default there are no security settings, so the
Thomson Gateway is initially accessible to all wireless devices:
The Network Name (SSID) is broadcast.
The security level is initially set to Low (that is: no encryption is used).
The Access Control List (ACL) is open and empty. New stations are automatically allowed to access the
Thomson Gateway.
It is recommended to change these Thomson Gateway wireless access point settings either automatically via
the Thomson Gateway Home Install Wizard, either manually as described in the Thomson Gateway User’s
Guide.
Securing your wireless network
To secure your wireless network, you can:
Allow or deny access based on the MAC address of the wireless client(s). Known MAC addresses are kept
in the Access Control List (ACL). If the Thomson Gateway is configured to allow new stations via
registration, unknown computers will have to register before they can connect.
For the ACL you have the following options:
24
Allowed (automatically): All new stations can access the Thomson Gateway.
Not allowed: Only allowed stations in the ACL have access.
Allowed (via registration): Only allowed stations in the ACL have access. You can add new
stations via the Association / Registration button.
Turn off the broadcast of the wireless Network Name (SSID). New wireless clients that are scanning for
available networks will not see your network appear in their list.

Troubleshooting
What to check
The first things to check if you cannot access the Internet, are:
Power
Hardware connections
LEDs
Configuration problems
If your Thomson Gateway is unreachable due to misconfiguration, you might consider a hardware reset to
factory defaults as described in “4.7 Reset to Factory Defaults” on page 41.
However, note that resetting the Thomson Gateway to its factory settings will revoke all the
changes you made to the configuration.
If the suggestions in this chapter do not resolve the Internet connection problem, please contact your Internet
Service Provider.

Troubleshooting
4.1
Checking the Hardware
Check the wiring
Plug in properly all the cables you need. Make sure that the cables between your Thomson Gateway,
computers and telephone socket are plugged in firmly. Loose connections can affect your Internet
connection.
Damaged cables can interfere with your Internet connection. Check for damage along the cables and loose
connections at the end of the cable. Replace any damaged cables.
Test the telephone line
To eliminate the possibility of a fault with the telephone line itself, check for a dialling tone by using a
telephone connected to the telephone master socket.
If you are using ADSL, check whether a splitter has been installed or that micro-filters have been correctly
fitted.
Contact your telephone company if there is no dialling tone.
Restart your computer
Loss of Internet or network connectivity may be caused by the computer. Restarting your computer may
solve the problem.
Power-cycle the Thomson Gateway
To restart your Thomson Gateway, simply turn it off. Wait five seconds and turn it back on.
