Self-installation of the devolo Giga Bridge.

Self-Installation with Coaxial Cable

The devolo Giga Bridge uses G.hn technology (point-to-point) to transmit the internet signal over the coaxial cable (TV/SAT). Connecting the devolo Giga Bridge is straightforward and can be done by beginners without any issues. This installation video demonstrates the individual steps to get the Giga Bridge up and running.

Step by Step:

  • Preparation: The devolo Giga Bridge can only be operated on free coaxial cables . Please ensure that there are no other signals (e.g., TV or radio) on this line.
  • Step 1: Plug both adapters of the devolo Giga Bridge into separate power outlets and connect them using the included network cable via the phone sockets. During pairing, the LEDs on both devices will blink white. After about three minutes, the pairing is complete, and the LEDs will glow solid white. After pairing, you can remove one of the adapters and the network cable.
  • Step 2: Connect the fiber optic termination point (ONT) and the Giga Bridge by plugging a network cable into the Ethernet port (ETH) of the Giga Bridge and into the Ethernet port of the ONT.
  • Step 3: Unscrew the existing coaxial cable from the connection and connect it to the devolo Giga Bridge. If the cable is too short, it can be extended using an F-connector and the additional coaxial cable provided. This completes the installation of the first part of the devolo Giga Bridge.
  • Step 4: Plug the second adapter into a power outlet near the router. Remove the cable that connects the router to the telephone socket (DSL port). First, screw the included coaxial cable onto the coax port of the devolo Giga Bridge and then onto the coaxial connection of your multimedia socket. Connect the Ethernet port (ETH) of the Giga Bridge to the WAN port (Wide Area Network/ usually blue) of the router using the included network cable. Done!

Self-Installation with Telephone Cable

The devolo Giga Bridge uses G.hn technology to transmit the internet signal over the telephone line (point-to-point). Connecting the devolo Giga Bridge is straightforward and can be done by beginners without any issues. This installation video demonstrates the individual steps to get the Giga Bridge up and running.

Step by Step:

  • Preparation: The devolo Giga Bridge can only be operated on free telephone lines.
  • Step 1: Plug both adapters of the devolo Giga Bridge into separate power outlets and connect them using the included network cable via the phone sockets. During pairing, the LEDs on both devices will blink white. After about three minutes, the pairing is complete, and the LEDs will glow solid white. After pairing, you can remove one of the adapters and the network cable.
  • Step 2: Connect the fiber optic termination point (ONT) and the Giga Bridge by plugging a network cable into the Ethernet socket (ETH) of the Giga Bridge and into the Ethernet socket of the ONT.
  • Step 3: Disconnect the telephone cable from the telephone termination point and connect it to the included Cat surface-mounted box (solder-free, screw-free, and stripping-free connection technology). This creates a fully functional network interface. Please pay attention to the correct pin assignment (see installation instructions).
  • Step 4: Plug an included network cable into the phone socket of the devolo Giga Bridge and into the Cat surface-mounted box. This completes the installation of the first part of the devolo Giga Bridge.
  • Step 5: Plug the second adapter into a power outlet near the router. Disconnect the cable that connects the router to the telephone socket (DSL socket) and plug it into the phone socket of the devolo Giga Bridge. Connect the Ethernet socket (ETH) of the Giga Bridge to the WAN port (Wide Area Network) of the router using an included network cable. Done!
