1. A gateway module comprising:
an Ethernet connector for receiving a broadcasting signal and a network signal through a coaxial cable to separate the broadcasting signal from the network signal; a network switch for selecting a certain internal communication network for transmitting the network signal from a plurality of internal communication networks and to distribute the network signal to the selected certain internal communication network; an antenna for transmitting the network signal distributed by using the selected certain internal communication network to a display device; and an interface to connect the gateway module with the display device, and the interface to exchange information using a protocol for Ethernet communication between the display device and the gateway module, wherein the separated broadcasting signal is transmitted to the display device through a tuner, wherein the gateway module is mounted on one surface of the display device, wherein the gateway module receives setting information that is transmitted from a remote controller of the display device, and wherein the setting information includes a Service Set Identifier (SSID) serving as a unique identifier of the gateway module, a password for security, and a bandwidth supported from the gateway module, wherein the Ethernet connector comprises: a diplexer for separating the broadcasting signal and the network signal from each other; a radio frequency (RF) transceiver for accessing a broadband communication network providing the network signal; and an Ethernet media independent interface (MII) for controlling an access operation of the Ethernet connector and a network processor, wherein the diplexer transmits the broadcasting signal to the display device through the tuner, and transmits the network signal to the network processor. |
