    When you first plug in your Gateway, it can take up to twenty minutes for it to automatically sync, update, and reboot multiple times with your Comcast service.
    Do not unplug or turn off your Gateway during this time.

2 Wired or Wireless

Devices can be connected to a network in two ways: wired or wireless. In order to continue, we need to determine the type of connection your device has.

A wired connection is provided by an Ethernet cable. Most commonly, these are used by desktop computers and other equipment you don't move around often.

If your device is not connected to the router with a cable, then you are using a wireless connection.
