Set up is easy. First, download the Verizon Home app.

Then you'll unbox the Verizon Internet Gateway and power adapter.

Place the Gateway on an elevated surface near a window, away from existing Wi-Fi equipment. Then plug in the power adapter. Once powered up, the blinking white light will stop, and signal bars will appear.

One signal bar is all you'll need for a strong connection, but you can try for 2 or 3 bars in other locations of your home.

If your home has more than one level, a higher floor might work better.

If the Gateway can't find a signal, the system status light will turn red.

Try moving to a new spot and check again. Once you find a spot with a strong connection, you're all set.

Then, connect your devices to the Backup network with the provided Name and Password on the back of the Gateway.

01:15

You can also simply scan the QR code to connect.
