Reference Manual for the Model CG814WG Wireless Cable Modem Gateway

A Powerful, True Firewall

Unlike simple Internet sharing NAT routers, the CG814WG is a true firewall, using stateful packet
inspection to defend against hacker attacks. Its firewall features include:
• Denial of Service (DoS) protection
Automatically detects and thwarts Denial of Service (DoS) 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.

Content Filtering

With its content filtering feature, the CG814WG prevents objectionable content from reaching
your PCs. The gateway allows you to control access to Internet content by screening for keywords
within Web addresses.
Dual login allows an adult to configure content filtering, while still allowing a child to configure
other features of the Gateway.

802.11b and 802.11g Standards-based Wireless Networking

The CG814WG Gateway includes an 802.11g- and 802.11b-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
• 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.
