How to connect your Ethernet
Connect the Ethernet LAN cable to either of the two Gigabit Ethernet LAN connectors on the backside of the Nokia FastMile 5G Gateway 3.2.
Check your connection by checking your LED signal:
- If the 5G LED is lit and all three-signal strength LEDs are lit, it means you have a good 5G connection.
- If the 5G LED isn't lit but all three signal strength LEDs are lit, it means you have a good 4G/LTE connection.
- If the 5G LED is lit with any other pattern, fix your connection by checking the centre LED:
- If the centre LED shows a slow blinking red, it means your SIM card is missing. We recommend installing it or replacing it.
- If the centre LED shows a solid red, it means you have no 4G/LTE or 5G connection and will need to reposition the gateway.
- If the centre LED shows a solid green:
- Press the signal test button on the side of the unit to determine:
- the type of service (4G or 5G)
- the signal strength for 5G and signal strength LEDS
- Press the signal test button on the side of the unit to determine:
You may need to move the gateway to an alternate location, if necessary.
