    3800HGV-B Overview
    The 3800HGV-B is a residential gateway used to connect to the Lightspeed network. It has many of the 
    features of an advanced broadband router as well as some additional features. Following are some of the 
    major features of the 2Wire gateway.
    Advanced modem technology.  2Wire’s modem technology features enhanced bridge tap, long loop, and 
    disturber performance.
    Super-fast router.  The 2Wire gateway’s router provides the  fastest data transfer speeds available between 
    the network and the Internet. The high-performance rout er distributes data seamlessly to all of the 
    computers on the network, without a dr amatic loss of performance or speed.
    Professional-grade firewall.  The 2Wire gateway firewall includes both standard NAT/PAT security and 
    Stateful Packet Inspection to defend against Denial of Service Internet attacks .
    Flexible networking.  The 2Wire gateway includes a variety of home networking technologies in one box: 
    Ethernet, direct USB, HyperG wireless,
    1 and MoCA.
    Figure 1.  3800HGV-B, Rear View
    Note: The Phones Lines 1&2/Aux Line por ts are reser ved for connecting to VoIP service, and are 
    not currently active.
    Ethernet.  Ethernet is a local area network (LAN) technolog y that transmits information between computers 
    at speeds of 10 or 100 Mbps. The 3700HGV-B has 4 Ether net ports for directly connecting computers or 
    devices. If the home or office is wired for Ethernet,  use the Ethernet interface(s) on the gateway to create a 
    broadband network.
    USB.  The 2Wire gateway’s USB 1.1 por t allows users to  directly connect a computer or other network-ready 
    device.
    1. Some interfaces are not available on specific models. 
    						
    							
    Networking Technology Over view
    2
    Wireless. The 2Wire gateway includes an integrated wireless  access point, which allows users to roam 
    wirelessly throughout the home or office. 2Wires high -powered wireless technology virtually eliminates 
    wireless “coldspots” in the home.  The 2Wire gateway’s high power 400mW transmitter ensures that users 
    benefit from increased wireless bandwidth throughout t he coverage area. In addition, the 2Wire gateway 
    employs a special triple antenna design. The third ant enna is used only for transmitting packets, thus 
    mitigating the power loss associated with switch ing the antenna use back and for th between transmit and 
    receive. This results in greater a ccess point sensitivity, as antenna  placement can be better optimized with 
    a dedicated set of receive-only antennas.
    MoCA.  MoCA technology allows users to easily share di gital enter tainment throughout the home using the 
    existing coax cable infrastructure to distribute co ntent such as video (SDTV and HDTV), music, games, and 
    images. MoCA provides the following benefits:
     Multi-room HDTV DVR. Allows users to record and  share digital videos simultaneously in ever y room.
     Multi-room gaming. Allows users to access games from various locations in the home and play  simultaneously.
     PC to TV. Allows users to merge data  and video-centric networks throughout the home.
    802.1X Authentication.  802.1X Authentication provides port- based authentication using cer tificates. 
    These cer tificates reside in the RADIUS authenticat ion ser ver and the 3700HGV-B gateway, and are signed 
    by a Cer tificate Authority (CA). W hen the RADIUS server and the gateway successfully exchange cer tificates, 
    access to the network is allowed.
    Prior to authentication, only limited security traffic (Layer 1 and Layer 2) is allowed on por ts. After 
    authentication, por ts open up for all other traffic (such as DHCP , IP, or Layer 3 and above).
    The VDSL DSLAM is the authenticator between the 3700H GV-B and the RADIUS ser ver. The RADIUS server 
    provides authentication and authorizat ion for the 3700HGV-B, and decides if the VDSLAM will open the port 
    for upper layer traffic. The 3700HGV-B and RADIUS serv er will exchange certificates to provide mutual 
    authentication. They will ensure that the cer tificate was  issued from a trusted CA and that the cer tificates 
    are valid, and other related information.
    If the VDSL DSLAM por t is not configured for 802.1X, t he 3700HGV-B attempts to authenticate 3 times. If it 
    cannot authenticate, it bypasses 802.1X authentication.  This does not mean that the 3700HGV-B will be 
    allowed on the network, just that it does not atte mpt the authentication again until power cycled or the 
    network requests it .

    VDSL. VDSL (ver y high bit-rate DSL) operates over t he copper wires in a phone line in a manner similar to 
    ADSL, but at much faster speeds. VDSL can achiev e speeds as high as 52 Mbps downstream and 16 Mbps 
    upstream, as opposed to ADSL (up to 8  Mbps downstream and 800 Kbps upstream).

    Installation Requirements
    Before you begin installation, review the 3800HGV-B package contents and ensure that you have available 
    the items shown in Figure 21.
    Figure 2. 2Wire and Ser vice Provider Installation Components
    Note: Ver tical orientation is the preferred met hod for mounting the 3700HGV-B gateway. Please 
    use the mounting stand included with the 3700HGV-B gateway.
    1. Additional components may be provided by your ser vice provider.

    Connect the Computer to the Gateway
    Note: Any equipment or devices that must be installed at the NID are outside the scope of this 
    document.
    Choose a Computer and Connection Type
    If the customer has ordered IPTV and High Speed In ternet, the preferred location for installing the 
    3700HGV-B is by the first video set top box. In this ca se, the first PC may or may not be located in the 
    same room. If the customer ordered High Speed In ternet access only, then the 3700HGV-B should be 
    installed near the first PC. Computers can be connected  to the 3700HGV-B via Ethernet, wireless, USB, or 
    MoCA.
    The first computer you connect to the network is us ed to configure the 3700HGV-B for proper operation. If 
    the customer has  not ordered High Speed Internet, then the techni cian must use their assigned laptop to 
    configure the 3700HGV-B.
    Choose one of the following methods to connect the fi rst computer to the 3700HGV-B. Save and close all 
    open programs before you begin connecting the 3700HGV-B.

    page 11.
    3.Install the wireless adapter according to t he manufacturer’s instructions (see note below).
    Note: If you use a 2Wire wireless adapter (PCI, PC  card, or USB adapter) for wireless networking, 
    the 2Wire gateway Setup Wizard CD automatically configures it to communicate with the gateway 
    during setup. If you are  NOT using a 2Wire wireless adapter, y ou must manually configure your 
    adapter to communicate with the gateway using the information on page 8.

    Non-2Wire Wireless Adapter Configuration
    Locating the Serial Number and Wireless 
    Encr yption Key
    A por tion of the serial number of your 
    3700HGV-B is used as the network name 
    (SSID). Beneath the serial number is a ten-
    digit number which is used as the encr yption 
    key. These are located on the bottom of your 
    3700HGV-B (shown in ver tical orientation). 
    You will need this information to configure 
    your wireless adapter.
    Configuring the Adapter
    1.Install and configure your wireless 
    adapter according to the manufacturer’s 
    instructions.
    2.Use the network adapter configuration 
    software or Windows network connection 
    wizard to set the network name (SSID) 
    and encryption key (WPA).
    a.The network name is the word “2WIRE” (in all capital letters), followed by the 
    last three digits of the gateway serial 
    number (for example, 2WIRE110).
    b. The encryption key is a 64-bit hex value, located beneath the bar code on the bottom of the  2Wire gateway. In the example, it is 4119627022.
    c. For Mac OS X users, you may need to enter  the “$” character at the beginning of the 
    encr yption key (for example, $4119627022).
    Note: The above instructions are for users configur ing their adapter with WPA. If the user’s 
    wireless adapter doesnt support WPA they should us e WEP; however, this decreases the level of 
    security provided for wireless traffic.
