Using the USB port (BRG35302) enables you to install the cable modem more quickly and easily than connecting to the Internet using the USB port, because you do not have to install a network interface card (NIC) into your computer. The USB port, however, only enables you to connect one computer to the cable modem.
CAUTION! Be sure to read this entire User’s Manual from front to back in sequence before installing Hitron™ “Broadband Residential Cable Modem Gateway” BRG-35302 / BWA-35302. This chapter describes how to install the cable modem using the Ethernet port. Using the Ethernet port enables you to use a single connection to the Internet or use a hub to connect multiple computers to the cable modem.
Verify the TCP/IP Protocol Configuration Before installing the modem using the Ethernet setup, you must verify that your computer has the TCP/IP protocol installed. Follow the procedure for your operating system to verify or install the TCP/IP protocol. Configuring TCP/IP on Win 95, Win 98, and Win Me To configure TCP/IP on a computer with the Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Me operating system: Right-click the Network Neighborhood icon (Windows Me: the My Network Places icon)
Select All Protocols from the Show bindings from drop-down list. Look for an entry named TCP/IP. If you see TCP/IP listed, double-click it to search for your Ethernet card. If you see your Ethernet card listed, you can now go to the section “Connecting the Cable Modem”...

Wireless Setting There are several wireless transmission modes for selection: 802.11b(11B) :It is of the old transmission mode. The max speed can be up to 11Mbps. 802.11b+(11B+) :The formal description should be Packet Binary Convolutional Coding (PBCC). It is of the enhanced transmission mode of 11B, and the max speed can be up to twice of 11B (22Mbps).
Channel and SSID SSID SSID(Service Set Identification)is the “name” of this wireless access point. It is also called the “Wireless Network Name” in the Windows XP environment. While the wireless LAN card searches for the access point, SSID is the important information for user to judge which Wireless Access Point is the expected one.
Hide SSID For security, wireless access point can disable the broadcast of SSID, and the configuration is to select the “Hide SSID”. Once the “Hide SSID” is selected, only the computer with same SSID can connect the wireless access point. On the other hand, the computer with the different SSID (or without SSID) will not “see”...
Encryption The wireless LAN signal is broadcasted openly. This is vulnerable for information theft or hackers trying to sniff your private information. To provide a certain level of protection, it is recommended to enable the authentication for the connection and the encryption of the transmission data.

8~63 characters, which can be alphabet, number, symbol, even the blank. WEP: The WEP is similar to the WPA-PSK. There is the encryption key between the PCs and access point, too. There are two encryption lengths for selection: 64 bits and 128 bits. If encryption strength is set to 64-bit or 128-bit, then only the selected WEP key box will automatically be populated with key values.
Authentication Type (WEP Mode only) Once the security mode is selected as WEP, one may need to select the Authentication Type. There are two selections in Authentication Type: Open System and Shared Key. The difference between Open System and Shared Key is the Authentication between Access Point and Computer.
MAC Filtering To restrict access based on MAC addresses, you can set up a list of the Trusted Devices, which are allowed to connect to the Access Point. If the “All Wireless Stations” is selected, the Access Point can accept all of the connection requests.
