did unplugged the power cord from your gateway residential?

Hi,
Can someone suggest a translation for "unplugged the power cord from your Residential Gateway"?

Thanks,

It sounds vaguely ironic, but I can´t begin to imagine the context.

Thet's pretty funny, Txiri

It sounds vaguely ironic, but I can´t begin to imagine the context.

Apart of the humor, I agree that we need context. That being said, it might help to know that Residential Gateway sounds like a device sitting between a residential Internet and/or phone connection provider (not the same as ISP) such as cable or phone company, and the computer and/or phone network inside one's home (residence). If that is the case, I can't imageine plugging the power cord for another component on such a device. Finally, if it is the device's own power cord, "from" is incorrect.

Awaiting the context,
Saludos

Thanks for your answers. I don't have much information. This is a message from a phone company with a suggested solution for a technical problem. This is the only context I have.

Hola

Tu aporte me hizo ponderar el sentido de "contexto". Lo que dices está perfecto como contexto semántico pero, para traducción, hace falta el contexto sintáctico (o gramatical), es decir, oraciones completas. Por exemple, no sé quién o qué es el sujeto de "unplugged".

Bueno, no me está claro si todavía necesitas ayuda. En caso afirmativo, como dijo, con un poco más del texto quién sabe?

Saludos

Gracias por tu colaboración. Tienes razón. Esta es otra frase con la misma idea: Did you unplug the power cord from your Residential Gateway and plugged it back?

Saludos,

Pasarela Residencial Trata-se de un enrutador (router) caraterizado por su posición de punto de enlace entre la red residencial y el mundo exterior (la red telefónica, el Internet, etc.)

¿Desenchufaste el cable de alimentación de la Pasarela Residencial y volviste a enchufarlo?

Also, I may hav been too hasty in condemning the use of "from"; chalk it up to my age . These days, power cables may be disconnected either at the outlet end or at the device end, and the latter may be handier.
