to your Internet connection, do not run that software or
cancel it if it starts automatically.
e. Verify the following:
The power light is lit after turning on the gateway.
The cable link light is solid green, indicating a link has
been established to the cable network.
The local lights are lit for any connected computers.
Note: For instructions on connecting computers to the
CG814W via USB or wireless links, please see the
Reference Manual on the Resource CD.
2. Log in to the Gateway.
Note: Your computer needs to be configured for DHCP. For
instructions on configuring for DHCP, please see Appendix C in
the Reference Manual on the Resource CD.
a. Using the computer you first used to access your cable
modem Internet service, connect to the gateway by typing
http://192.168.0.1 in the address field of Internet Explorer
®
or Netscape Navigator.
b. For security reasons, the gateway has its own user name and
password. When prompted, enter admin for the user name
and password for the password, both in lower case letters.
After logging in, you will see the Basic Settings page below.
3. Connect to the Internet.
a. You are now connected to the gateway. Click the Basic
Settings link on the upper left of the main menu.
b. Enter the Host Name, Domain Name, and IP configuration
settings from your cable broadband Internet company.
c. The CG814W Cable MAC address is for the built-in cable
modem. The CG814W Device MAC address is for the built-
in router.
Note: Some cable Internet companies will require you to
notify them when you replace the original cable modem or
PC so that they can register the MAC addresses.
• MAC cloning lets you substitute a different MAC
address for the CG814W's built-in router address.
The first time you log in to the CG814W, it
automatically fills in the Cloned MAC Address with the
MAC address from the PC which is logged in to it.
• Click Apply to accept these settings.
d. Click the Test button to verify your Internet connection and
register your product.
Note: If you had difficulty connecting to the gateway or to
the Internet, please refer to the "Troubleshooting" chapter of
the Reference Manual on the Resource CD.
