Zgemma satellite/IPTV boxes work with Liberty Shield through a VPN Router.
-
Set your VPN Router to the country you need and make sure it's online.
-
Connect the Zgemma to the VPN Router — LAN cable recommended; or join the VPN WiFi on models with WiFi.
-
Reboot the box.
Note: Buffering? Use the LAN cable and see our speed guide — a server change usually fixes it.
Switching from your ISP router
If your Zgemma box is already connected to your ISP's router, locate the LAN cable on the back of the box — it's connected to the “Ethernet” port marked in red below — and follow it to your ISP router. Unplug that cable from the ISP router and connect it directly to your VPN Router instead.

Restarting the network
On your remote, press: Menu → Setup → System → Network → Device Setup, then Restart Network. Press Exit until you're back at the main menu, then use Standby/Restart to restart the box. This completes the setup.
Channels not loading? Check DHCP
If channels won't load, the most common cause is DHCP not running, or a conflict on your network. Follow this video for step-by-step instructions:
If you need to disable DHCP (automatic network settings) as shown in the video above, use these manual settings:
-
Primary DNS = 8.8.8.8
-
Secondary DNS = 8.8.4.4
-
Address = 172.20.1.50
-
Netmask = 255.255.255.0
-
Gateway = 172.20.1.1
Note: If you're setting up more than one device manually, make sure each device's IP address is unique (e.g. 172.20.1.50, .51, .52…).
