NETGEAR CG814WG manual 802.11g Standards-based Wireless Networking

Hardware Manual for the Model CG814WG Wireless Cable Modem Gateway

•Automatically detects and thwarts attacks such as Ping of Death, SYN Flood, LAND Attack and IP Spoofing.

•Configurable Port Forwarding, Port Blocking, Port Triggering and DMZ provide enough flexibility for most applications.

•Blocks access from your LAN to Internet locations or services that you specify as off-limits.

•Logs security incidents

The CG814WG will log security events such as blocked incoming traffic, port scans, attacks, and administrator logins. You can configure the gateway to email the log to you whenever a significant event occurs.

802.11g Standards-based Wireless Networking

The CG814WG Gateway includes an 802.11g-compliant wireless access point, providing continuous, high-speed 54 Mbps access between your wireless and Ethernet devices. The access point provides:

•802.11g Standards-based wireless networking at up to 54Mbps, interoperable with 802.1b networks

•64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption security

•WEP keys can be generated manually or by passphrase

•Wireless access can be restricted by MAC address.

Configurable Auto Uplink™ Ethernet Connection

With its internal 4-port 10/100 switch, the CG814WG can connect to either a 10 Mbps standard Ethernet network or a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet network. Both the local LAN and the Internet WAN interfaces are autosensing and capable of full-duplex or half-duplex operation.

The gateway incorporates Auto UplinkTM technology. Each LOCAL Ethernet port will automatically sense whether the Ethernet cable plugged into the port should have a ‘normal’ connection such as to a PC or an ‘uplink’ connection such as to a switch or hub. That port will then configure itself to the correct configuration. This feature also eliminates the need to worry about crossover cables, as Auto Uplink will accommodate either type of cable to make the right connection.
