Fastgate is a /router manufactured by the Italian telecommunications company, Fastweb. It is provided to customers as part of its internet service. While it is specifically designed for use with Fastweb, it is possible to use Fastgate outside of Fastweb. In this article, we will discuss how you can use Fastgate outside of Fastweb.

Firstly, it is important to understand that Fastgate is a modem/router that provides internet access to multiple devices. It has a built-in ADSL modem that can be used to connect to the internet via a telephone line. Additionally, it has four Ethernet ports and a built-in Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) access point, providing wireless connectivity to devices.

To use Fastgate outside of Fastweb, you will need to disconnect it from Fastweb’s network and configure it to work with your new internet service provider (ISP). Here’s how you can do that:

Step 1: Disconnect Fastgate from Fastweb’s network

The first step is to disconnect Fastgate from Fastweb’s network. To do that, follow these steps:

1.1. Power off the Fastgate modem/router.

1.2. Disconnect the telephone line, Ethernet cables, and power cable from the Fastgate modem/router.

Step 2: Connect Fastgate to the new ISP’s network

The second step is to connect Fastgate to your new ISP’s network. To do that, follow these steps:

2.1. Connect the telephone line, Ethernet cables, and power cable to the Fastgate modem/router.

2.2. Power on the Fastgate modem/router.

2.3. Wait for the modem/router to boot up and establish a connection with your new ISP’s network.

Step 3: Configure Fastgate for the new ISP

The third step is to configure Fastgate to work with your new ISP. To do that, follow these steps:

3.1. Open a web browser and enter the following IP address: http://192.168.1.254

3.2. Enter the default username and password. The default username is “admin” and the default password is “admin”.

3.3. Once you have logged into the Fastgate router’s web-based configuration page, go to the WAN Connection settings.

3.4. Select the appropriate WAN Connection type for your new ISP. For example, if you are using an ADSL connection, select “ADSL” as the connection type.

3.5. Enter the required settings for the WAN Connection type, such as your new ISP’s username and password.

3.6. Save the configuration changes and restart the Fastgate router.

Step 4: Connect devices to Fastgate

The final step is to connect your devices to Fastgate. To do that, follow these steps:

4.1. Connect your devices (computers, smartphones, tablets, etc.) to the Fastgate router using Ethernet cables or Wi-Fi.

4.2. If you are connecting wirelessly, enter the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password to connect.

Once your devices are connected to Fastgate, they should be able to access the internet through your new ISP.

In conclusion, using Fastgate outside of Fastweb is possible but requires several steps to reconnect to a new ISP. If you were to ultimately decide on using another brand of modem/router for your new service, it would be simpler to make the directly. However, for those who plan to make the most of their Fastgate, this guide should provide a deeper understanding for proper configuration.
