Introduction

This chapter describes the features of the NETGEAR CG814WG Wireless Cable Modem
Gateway.

About the CG814WG

The NETGEAR CG814WG Wireless Cable Modem Gateway connects directly to the wide area
network (WAN) using its built-in cable modem. It has multiple options to connect to your local
area network (LAN), including a 4-port 10/100 Mbps Ethernet switch, a USB port and an 802.11b
wireless Access Point.
The CG814WG Gateway is a complete security solution that protects your network from attacks
and intrusions. Unlike simple Internet sharing routers that rely on Network Address Translation
(NAT) for security, the CG814WG uses Stateful Packet Inspection for Denial of Service (DoS)
attack protection and intrusion detection. The CG814WG provides highly reliable Internet access
for up to 253 users.

Key Features

The CG814WG offers the following features.

Built-in Cable Modem

The CG814W Gateway connects directly the WAN using an integrated cable modem. The modem
is DOCSIS 2.0, guaranteeing that it will work with your local cable service provider.
