Hello @donathan1

 

Thanks for reaching out through our Forum. We are glad to address the installation question you have. 

 

Somewhere in the installation should be a SWM Splitter. It may be a 2 way or a 4 way. Here is an example of a 2 way:

 

DIRECTV 2 Way Splitter SWM Wide Band Approved Satellite 2 - 2150 MHz One Port DC Path Indoor/Outdoor 1 Input 2 Output High Isolation Slimline Video 75 Ohm Signal, Part # MSPLIT2R0-03

You will run the RG6 coaxial cable from the top port on the WVB (Wireless Video Bridge). In small print that port should read "Towards LNB". That cable will go to the splitter and the other cable to the DIRECTV receiver. The top of the splitter will be the "IN" that should run to the SWM.

 

Set up can vary depending on install; however, overall you're going to be using the top coaxial connection on the WVB.

Should you need any further support, let us know and we will be glad to assist you. 

 

Chad, AT&T Community Specialist.
