Chapter 1: Introduction

Overview
Thank you for purchasing the Netgear CG814W Wireless Cable Modem
Gateway. The Netgear CG814W provides the ideal solution for connecting
your wireless network to a high-speed broadband Internet connection and a
10/100 Fast Ethernet backbone. Configurable as a DHCP server for your
existing network, the Netgear CG814W acts as the only externally recognized
Internet gateway on your local area network (LAN) and serve as an Internet
NAT firewall against unwanted outside intruders. The Netgear CG814W can
also be configured to filter internal users' access to the Internet.
A typical gateway relies on a hub or a switch to share its Internet connection,
but the Netgear CG814W channels this connection through the blazing, full
duplex of its built-in 10/100 4-Port Switch. This cutting-edge combination of
wireless router and switch technology eliminates the need to buy an additional
hub or switch and extends the range of your wireless network. Now your entire
wireless network can enjoy blazing broadband Internet connections supported
by its robust switched backbone. With the dual-function speed and power of
the Netgear CG814W, your network will take off at speeds faster than you ever
imagined possible.
