I removed the cap on the inside and found that I have 2 power wires, Orange white and white and a single green lead. I thought I was supposed to have 3 total colored leads. Notice also that the power wires do not terminate at the cap as is stated in this video: (141) How to Connect the Winegard Gateway to a WineGard Air 360+ via a Ceiling Prep - YouTube, instead they appear to continue on. Getting ready for a long trip, hope someone can help me resolve this quickly.

I just installed the Winegard gateway this past weekend. It only had the power and green interconnect wire visible. I had to remove the ceiling light and was then able to grab the red and yellow wires. I then cut the orange and white 12 volt wires, after killing the power and spliced in a fuse and installed a switch right on the gateway housing.
The gateway works as expected. I use my phone as a hotspot and our wifi connected devices all “attach” to the Winegard network.
I have not tried installing my SIM card into the gateway, I am in Canada so it may not work. But the hotspot works perfectly.
Good Luck!Peter

On my 2022 337 RLS, the light is a spring loaded LED. I just pulled down and then released the spring tension. This gave me access to the ceiling space. The other two antenna wires were lurking nearby.Peter

I'm about to install my Winegard Gateway. The instructions on page 2 show a picture of the orientation of the gateway with an arrow indicating the front of the RV.
Due to a ceiling light, I can't orient the gateway that way. But I can't imagine a reason why the gateway has to be oriented in any specific direction. Only obvious restriction is to have the gateway wire hole under the cap hole.
It's the only reference to orientation in the instructions that I could find. Unless someone knows better, I'll install it in the only direction available to me.Last edited by jpcarro11; 07-28-2021, 06:49 PM.John & Susan

jpcarro11 I agree---shouldn't make any difference. The statement about "making sure the device is parallel to the wall" --for aesthetics?Forum moderators are not GD employees--we are volunteers and owners presumably just like yourself.
