Chapter 3: Networking
Residential Gateway (RG) Mode
RG (Residential Gateway) Mode provides basic home networking plus NAT (Network Address
Translation). In this mode, three IP stacks are active:
IP Stack 1 - for use by the cable company to communicate with the Cable Modem section only. This
stack receives its IP address from the cable company during CM initialization. It uses the MAC
address printed on the label attached to the Wireless Cable Gateway.
