CG814M

Wireless Cable Modem Gateway

Total Internet Gateway Capability for Secure, Wireless Networking

NETGEAR's CG814M Wireless Cable Modem Gateway delivers shared cable access with fire-

wall protection without additional wires. One package equips you with everything you need

for a fully outfitted network: a cable modem, an 802.11b wireless access point, a router, a

firewall, and a switch. No external modem is required in order to enjoy instant high-speed

Web access, file sharing, video streaming, head-to-head Internet game-playing, and MP3

downloading. This highly capable wireless, Ethernet, USB Internet gateway provides state of

the art filtering and controls that allow parents and administrators to limit URL access and

monitor Internet activities. And – this is important – it comes with firewall protection to secure

your computers and network against hackers. With the animated Installation Assistant, Web

browser-based settings, and on-screen help providing guidance through each step, your setup

couldn't be easier. The sleekly designed unit complements home and office environments. And

since it's made by NETGEAR, you can rest assured that this gateway is engineered for smooth,

long-running reliability.

Immediately allows you to enjoy the freedom of wireless capability. The built-in 802.11b wireless access point lets you extend your network to support up to 11 Mbps throughput without the need for any new cabling.

Four 10/100 Ethernet ports support up to 253 computers on your network. Auto-partitioning on each port protects each installed computer from damaged network connections. The integrated modem is DOCSIS 1.0 compliant and upgradable to DOCSIS 1.1 – guaranteed to work with your local cable service provider.

URL content filtering and time-of-day usage limits give parents and administrators ultimate control over user access. E-mailed reports of browsing activities and optional real-time e-mail alerts provide further input on user activity. NAT (Network Address Translation) Firewall with VPN (Virtual Private Network) pass-through protects against Internet attacks, and auto-partitioning on each port protects each installed computer from damaged network connections.

Simple for anyone, even those without networking experience, to set up and use. A USB port provides simple Plug and Play connectivity, and an animated Install Assistant leads you every step of the way. Lighted status icons make it easy to observe network activity.
