Wireless Cable Gateway CG3000D-1CXNAS When you have logged in, if you do not click Logout, the gateway waits for 5 minutes after no activity before it automatically logs you out. To log in to the gateway: On the computer that is connected to the gateway with an Ethernet cable, type http://192.168.0.1 in the address field of your Internet browser.
Select Static IP only if your ISP has assigned you a permanent, fixed (static) IP • address. If you select Static IP, more fields appear on the screen. Fill in these fields so the gateway can connect to the Internet: Static IP Address. The fixed IP address that your ISP has assigned to you.

Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) Wireless Setup Push 'N' Connect (WPS) can be a quick way to automatically set up your gateway’s wireless network and set up your wireless computer to connect to it at the same time. WPS, also called Wi-Fi Protected Setup, is relatively new technology, so before you decide to use it, check to make sure your wireless computers and devices support WPS.
“Using a PIN” Using the WPS Button You can use the WPS button to automatically set up wireless settings in your gateway and to set up your wireless computer to connect to it. The first time you use WPS it will assign a random network name Note: (SSID) and a random passphrase to your wireless network.
In the main menu, select WPS Settings. The Add WPS Client screen displays. Any computer or wireless device that will wirelessly connect to the gateway is a client. After it is added as a client, it will be able to automatically connect to the gateway. Select the PIN radio button.
(this could happen if there is a lot of interference), set this field to On so that you are notified when a package is lost. To conserve battery power in smaller devices that are connected to the gateway, set the Power Save Support field to On.
• WPS Settings Disable Router’s PIN Selecting this checkbox disables the PIN that WPS clients use to connect to the gateway with the PIN method. Normally this checkbox is cleared, which is the default setting. Keep Existing Settings If a WPS client is added the gateway automatically selects this checkbox.
You can use access control to specify which wireless computers or devices can connect to the gateway based on their MAC addresses. If you do not set up access control, any wireless computer or device that is configured with the correct SSID and wireless security settings will be allowed to access to your wireless network.

MAC address to the Access List. Otherwise you will lose your wireless connection when you click Apply. You must then access the gateway from a wired computer, or from a wireless computer that is on the access control list, to make any further changes.
Managing Your Network This chapter describes how to perform network management tasks with your gateway. When you log in to the gateway (see on page 7), these tasks are grouped “Logging Into Your Gateway” under Maintenance. This chapter includes: Viewing the Gateway Status.
Wireless Cable Gateway CG3000D-1CXNAS Viewing the Gateway Status Use the Modem Status screen to see hardware and firmware details about the gateway and basic status information. In the main menu, under Maintenance, select Gateway Status. The following table describes the fields displayed in this screen...
The gateway automatically goes through the following steps in the provisioning process: Scan and lock the downstream frequency, and then link back in upstream direction. • Obtain an IP address for the gateway itself. Then the gateway assigns an IP address for • the connected PC.
Backing Up and Restoring Your Settings The configuration settings of the gateway are stored in a configuration file in the gateway. To save or restore the backup settings: In the main menu, under Maintenance, select Backup Settings.
• and select the previously saved backup file. Then click Restore. A message notifies you when the gateway has been restored to previous settings. Then, the gateway restarts, which takes about one minute. When restoring configuration settings, do not interrupt the process...
Wireless Cable Gateway CG3000D-1CXNAS Running the Diagnostic Ping Utility From the Diagnostics screen you can use Ping. To use diagnostics: Log in to the gateway as described in on page 7. “Logging Into Your Gateway” In the main menu, under Maintenance, select Diagnostics.
Advanced Settings This chapter describes how to customize your network through the advanced settings on your gateway. When you log in to the gateway (see on page 7), these “Logging Into Your Gateway” tasks are grouped under Advanced. This chapter includes: on page 27.
Wireless Cable Gateway CG3000D-1CXNAS MAC Filtering By default, the gateway allows any connected PC to access the Internet through. The MAC Filtering screen lets you block specific computers, based on their MAC address, from access to the Internet on selected days and times.
Wireless Cable Gateway CG3000D-1CXNAS IP Filtering By default, any computer will be allowed access to the internet through your gateway. You can use IP filtering to block specific computers based on their IP addresses from access to the Internet on selected days and times.
Wireless Cable Gateway CG3000D-1CXNAS Port Blocking You can use port blocking to block outbound traffic on specific ports. Outbound traffic rules control access to outside resources from local users.The default rule is to allow all access from the LAN side to the outside. You can use port blocking to add predefined or custom rules to specify exceptions to the default rule.
Internet. The rule tells the Gateway to direct inbound traffic for a particular service to one local server or computer based on the destination port number. This is also known as port forwarding.
A computer makes an outgoing connection using a port number defined in the Port Triggering table. The gateway records this connection, opens the incoming port or ports associated with this entry in the Port Triggering List, and associates them with the PC.
There are security issues with doing this, so only set up the DMZ host if you are willing to risk open access. If you do not define a DMZ host the gateway discards any undefined service requests. To set up a DMZ host: In the main menu, under Advanced, select DMZ Host.
The LAN IP screen allows you to configure LAN services such as the IP address of the gateway and DHCP. The TCP/IP and DHCP default values work fine in most cases. If you disable the DHCP server, you will need to assign to your...
Your password can be up to 16 characters. To manage this gateway through the Internet, you need its public IP Address, as seen from the Internet. This public IP address is allocated by your ISP. But if your ISP account uses a dynamic IP address, the address can change each time you connect to your ISP.

Tip: software updates at http://www.netgear.com/support. Basic Functions After you have turned on power to the gateway, you should do the following: Check to see that the Power LED is on. Check that the numbered Ethernet LEDs come on momentarily. After a few seconds, check that the local port link LEDs are lit for any local ports that are connected.
Check the Ethernet connection between the computer and the gateway as described in • the previous section. Make sure that your PC’s IP address is on the same subnet as the gateway. If you are • using the recommended addressing scheme, your PC’s address should be in the range of 192.168.0.10 to 192.168.0.254.
Web browser may be caching the old configuration. Troubleshooting the ISP Connection If your gateway is unable to access the Internet and your Cable Link LED is on, you may need to register the cable MAC address and/or device MAC address of you gateway with your cable service provider.
