Wireless Cable Voice Gateway Model CVG834G Reference Manual
Wireless Placement and Range Guidelines
The range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the physical placement of
the wireless voice gateway. The latency, data throughput performance, and notebook power
consumption of wireless adapters also vary depending on your configuration choices.
For best results, place your wireless voice gateway:
• Near the center of the area in which your PCs will operate.
• In an elevated location such as a high shelf where the wirelessly connected PCs have line-ofsight access (even if through walls).
• Away from sources of interference, such as PCs, microwave ovens, and 2.4 GHz cordless
phones.
• Away from large metal surfaces.
• Put the antenna in a vertical position to provide the best side-to-side coverage. Put the antenna
in a horizontal position to provide the best up-and-down coverage.
• If using multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different radio
frequency channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel spacing between
adjacent access points is 5 channels (for example, use channels 1 and 6, or 6 and 11).
The time it takes to establish a wireless connection can vary depending on both your security
settings and placement. WEP connections can take slightly longer to establish. Also, WEP
encryption can consume more battery power on a notebook computer.

Protecting Your Network
This chapter describes how to control access to your gateway and how to use the firewall features
of the gateway to protect your network.
Changing the Default Password
For security reasons, the gateway has its own user name and password. The administrator user
name is admin, with the default password of password. After a period of inactivity for a set length
of time, the administrator login automatically disconnects. You can change the password, and you
can change the amount of time for the administrator login timeout.
Note: The user name and password are not the same as any user name or password your
may use to log in to your Internet connection.
NETGEAR recommends that you change this password to a more secure password. The ideal
password should contain no dictionary words from any language, and should be a mixture of both
upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols. Your password can be up to 30 characters.
To change the default password:
1. Log in to the gateway by entering the default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its
default user name of admin, default password of password, or using whatever password and
LAN address you have chosen for the gateway.

Blocking Keywords, Sites and Services
The gateway provides a variety of options for blocking Internet content and communications to the
gateway. You can control access to Internet content by screening for keywords within Web
addresses; you also can block access to all sites except those that are explicitly allowed. Blocking
options include:
• Blocking access from your LAN to Internet locations that contain keywords that your specify.
• Blocking access to Web sites (doma ins) that you spec ify as off-limits.
• Allowing access to only Web sites (domains) that you specify as allowed.
You can also block access to the Internet by a specific computer based on the hardware MAC
address of that computer. Blocking access to the Internet based on the hardware MAC address of
the computer or wireless adapter is described in “Using MAC Filtering to Block Access” on
page 3-6.
Blocking Keywords and Domains
You can restrict access to Internet content based on Web address keywords and domain names. A

Inbound and Outbound Rules
You can use firewall rules to block or allow specific traffic passing through from one side to the
other. Inbound rules (WAN to LAN) restrict access by outsiders to private resources, selectively
allowing only specific outside users to access specific resources. Outbound rules (LAN to WAN)
determine what outside resources local users can have access to.
A firewall has two default rules, one for inbound traffic and one for outbound. The default rules of
the gateway are:
• Inbound: Block all access from outside except responses to requests from the LAN side.
Instructions for setting up inbound rules can be found in “Port Forwarding” on page 3-10
• Outbound: Allow all access from the LAN side to the outside. Use Port Blocking to set up
outbound rules (see “Enabling or Disabling Content Filtering Services” on page 3-5).
You may define more rules that specify exceptions to the default rules. By adding custom rules,
you can block or allow access based on the service or application, source or destination IP
addresses, and time of day.

2. Click Delete.
Port Forwarding
You can use port forwarding to set up a rule that directs inbound traffic for a particular service to a
local server (for example, a Web server or game server) based on the destination port. This makes
the server visible and available to the Internet.
Unless you set up port forwarding, the gateway prevents this type of traffic.The gateway uses
Network Address Translation (NAT). NAT presents a single IP address for your network to the
Internet. Outside users cannot directly address your local computers.
Note: Some residential broadband ISP accounts do not allow you to run any server
processes (such as a Web or FTP server) from your location. Your ISP may check
for servers and may suspend your account if it discovers active services at your
location. If you are unsure, refer to the acceptable use policy of your ISP.
Before setting up Port Forwarding, consider the following:
• If the IP address of the local server PC is assigned by DHCP, it may change when the PC is
rebooted. To avoid this, you can assign a static IP address to your server outside the range that
is assigned by DHCP, but in the same subnet as the rest of your LAN. By default, the IP
addresses in the range of 192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.9 are reserved for this.
• Local computers must access the local server using the local LAN address of the computer
(192.168.0.XXX, by default). Attempts by local computers to access the server using the
external WAN IP address will fail.
Remember that allowing inbound services opens holes in your firewall. Only enable those ports
that are necessary for your network.
Forwarding Inbound Traffic
To forward inbound traffic:
1. Select the service that you want to forward from the Predefined Services drop-down list.
3-10 Protecting Your Network
v2.0, November 2007

UDP or Both.
2. If you want to change the suggested port numbers, enter a new St art Port and End Port.
3. From the drop-down Protocol list, select the protocol: TCP, UDP, or Both.
4. Enter the IP address of the computer on your network to which you would like to direct the
inbound traffic in the Local IP Address field.

Protecting Your Network 3-11
v2.0, November 2007
Wireless Cable Voice Gateway Model CVG834G Reference Manual
Port Triggering
Port Triggering is an advanced feature that allows you to dynamical ly open inbound ports based on
outbound traffic on different ports. This feature can be used for gaming and other Internet
applications.
Note: Port Forwarding is similar to port triggering, but it is static and has some
limitations. Ports are open to traffic from the Internet until the port forwarding rule
is removed. Additionally, port forwarding does not work well for some
applications when your WAN IP address is assigned by DHCP, and is changed
frequently. Port Triggering opens an incoming port temporarily and does not
require the server on the internet to track your IP address if it is changed.
Port Triggering monitors outbo und traffic. When the gatewa y detects traffic on the specified
outbound port, it remembers the IP address of the computer that sent the data and “triggers” the
incoming port. Incoming traffic on the triggered port is then forwarded to the triggering computer.
For example, port triggering can be used for Internet Relay Chat (IRC). When you connect to an
IRC server, the server tries to connect back on the port to do an Ident lookup. Unless you have
configured Port Forwarding to open that port, the traffic will be blocked. In this example, the
initial login to the server in the range of ports is detected. This triggers the gateway to temporarily
forward the port to the PC that initiated the login.
To configure Port Triggering:
1. Under the Advanced heading on the main menu, select Port Trigge ring. The Port Triggering
screen appears:
Figure 3-9
3-12 Protecting Your Network
v2.0, November 2007
Wireless Cable Voice Gateway Model CVG834G Reference Manual
2. In the Trigger Range field, enter the outbound ports that will be monitored for activity. This
will be the “trigger.”
3. In the Target Range field, enter the inbound ports that should be forwarded when the trigger
occurs.
4. Select the appropriate protocol: TCP, UDP or Both.
5. Select the Enable check box
6. Click Apply.
There are two ways to clear a Port Triggering rule:
• Clear the Enable check box to temporarily disable the rule.
• Select the rule, and then click Delete.
Setting Up a DMZ Host
The Default DMZ Server feature is helpful when using some online games and video conferencing
applications that are incompatible with NAT. The gateway is programmed to recognize some of
these applications and to work properly with them, but there are other applications that may not
function well. In some cases, one local PC can run the application properly if that PC’s IP address
is entered as the Default DMZ Host.
Note: For security, you should avoid using the Default DMZ Server feature. When a
computer is designated as the default DMZ server, it loses much of the protection
of the firewall, and is exposed to many exploits from the Internet. If compromised,
the computer can be used to attack your network.
Incoming traffic from the Internet is normally discarded by the gateway unless the traffic is a
response to one of your local computers or a service that you have configured in the Port
Forwarding or Port Triggerin g screen. In stead of discarding this traffic, you can have it forwarded
to one computer on your network. This computer is called the default DMZ host.

Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM)
The Voice Gateway includes Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM), which is a Quality of Service (QoS)
feature. This feature is enabled, and the Voice Gateway uses it automatically with clients running
applications that support WMM.
WMM QoS provides prioritization of wireless data packets from different applications based on
four categories: voice, video, best effort, and background. For an application to receive the
benefits of WMM QoS, both it and the client running that application must be WMM-enabled.
Legacy applications that do not support WMM, and applications that do not require QoS, are
assigned to the best-effort category, which receives a lower priority than voice and video.
From the main menu, under the Setup heading, select Wi-Fi Multimedia. The Wi-Fi Multimedia
screen appears:
Figure 4-7
The default setting is Auto. You can change the setting to On or Off. If you make a change, click
Apply to change the settings.
LAN IP Settings
The gateway is preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side, and to act as a DHCP
server. The LAN IP settings are explained below:
• LAN IP address.This is the IP address of the gateway.
Note: If you change the LAN IP address of the gateway while connected through the
browser, you will be disconnected. You must then open a new connection to
the new IP address and log in again
• Subnet mask. This is the LAN subnet mask of the gateway. The default is 255.255.255.0.
Combined with the IP address, the subnet mask allows a device to know which other addresses
are local to it, and which must be reached through a gateway or router.
Managing Your Network 4-7
The default is 192.168.0.1.
v2.0, November 2007
Wireless Cable Voice Gateway Model CVG834G Reference Manual
These addresses are part of the IETF-designated private address range for use in private
networks, and should be suitable in most applications. If your network ha s a requirement to
use a different IP addressing scheme, you can make those changes in the LAN IP page.
• DHCP Server. By default, the gateway is a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
server. See “Using the Gateway as a DHCP Server” on page 4-8.
• Starting Address and Ending Address. Specify the pool of IP addresses to be assigned by
setting the Starting IP Address and Ending IP Address. These addresses should be part of the
same IP address subnet as the gateway’s LAN IP address. Using the default addressing
scheme, you should define a range between 192.168.0.10 and 192.168.0.253. The range of IP
addresses between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.9 can be used for devices with fixed (or static)
addresses.
• DHCP Reservation Lease Info. View information about each PC that has been assigned a
DHCP lease by the gateway. The MAC address of the PC, IP address assigned and the
expiration time of the DHCP lease are listed. You can manually revoke the DHCP leases by
clicking Clear DHCP Leases.
Using the Gateway as a DHCP Server
By default, the gateway is a DHCP server. It can assign IP, DNS server, and default gateway
addresses to all computers connected to the LAN. The default wireless voice gateway address is its
LAN address. The wireless voice gateway assigns IP addresses to the network computers from a
pool of addresses specified in the Starting Address and Ending Address fields. Each pool address
is tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN.
Note: If another device on your network is the DHCP server, or if you will manually
configure the network settings of all of your computers, select No for the DHCP
Server. For more information about DHCP and IP addresses, see the link to
“Preparing a Computer for Network Access:” in Appendix B.
The gateway delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:
• An IP Address from the range you have defined.
• Subnet Mask.
• Gateway IP Address is the gateway’s LAN IP address.
• Primary DNS Server, if you entered a Primary DNS address in the Basic Settings page;
otherwise, the gateway’s LAN IP address.
4-8 Managing Your Network
v2.0, November 2007
Wireless Cable Voice Gateway Model CVG834G Reference Manual
• Secondary DNS Server, if you entered a Secondary DNS address in the Basic Settings page.
Note: The gateway implements a DNS Relay function. When it receives a DNS request
on the LAN, it passes it to the DNS server specified on the WAN. It then relays the
response back to the original requesting PC.
Configuring the LAN IP Settings
You can use the LAN IP Setup page to configure LAN IP services such as the IP address of the
gateway and DHCP.
To configure the LAN IP:
1. Under the Advanced heading on the main menu, select LAN IP. The LAN IP screen displays.
Figure 4-8
2. Enter the following information:
• LAN IP Address. The LAN IP address that you want to assign to your gateway. The
default is 192.168.0.1.
• Subnet Mask. The subnet mask for your network IP address. The default is
255.255.255.0. (Unless you are implementing subnetting, use the default subnet mask.)
• DHCP Server. To to assign IP addresses to your computers automatically, select Yes. To
disable the DHCP Server and assign IP addresses to your computers manually, select No.
Note: If you select no for the DHCP server setting, then you must assign a static
IP address to your PC in order to reconnect to the gateway and enable the
DHCP server again.

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices, such as Internet appliances and computers, access
the network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can automatically discover the
services from other registered UPnP devices on the network.
UPnP can be enabled or disabled for automatic device configuration. The default setting for UPnP
is disabled. If disabled, the router will not allow any device to automatically control the resources,
such as port forwarding (mapping), of the router.
Other features of UPnP:
• Advertisement Period. The number entered in this field (in minutes) determines how often
the router will advertise (broadcast) its UPnP information. This value can range from 1 to 1440
minutes. The default period is for 30 minutes.
– Shorter durations will ensure that control points have current device status at the expense
of additional network traffic.
– Longer durations may compromise the freshness of the device status but can significantly
reduce network traffic.
• Advertisement Time To Live. The time to live for the advertisement is measured in hops
(steps) for each UPnP packet sent. A hop is the number of steps allowed to propagate for each
UPnP advertisement before it disappears. The number of hops can range from 1 to 255. The
default value for the advertisement time to live is 4 hops, which should be fine for most home
networks. If you notice that some devices are not being updated or reached correctly, then you
may need to increase this value a little.
• UPnP Portmap T able. The UPnP Portmap Table displays the IP address of each UPnP device
that is currently accessing the router and which ports (internal and external) that device has
opened. The UPnP Portmap Table also displays what type of port is opened and if that port is
still active for each IP address.

following:
• Check the Ethernet connection between the PC 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. Refer to “Preparing a Computer for Network Access:” in Appendix B for more
information about IP address configuration.
5-2 Troubleshooting
v2.0, November 2007
Wireless Cable Voice Gateway Model CVG834G Reference Manual
Note: If your PC’s IP address is shown as 169.254.x.x:
Recent versions of Windows and Mac OS generate and assign an IP address if
the computer cannot reach a DHCP server. These auto-generated addresses are
in the range of 169.254.x.x. If your IP address is in this range, check the
connection from the PC to the gateway and reboot your PC.
• If your gateway’s IP address has been changed and you don’t know the current IP address,
clear the gateway’s configuration to factory defaults. This will set the gateway’s IP address to
192.168.0.1. This procedure is explained in “Restoring Factory Default Configuration
Settings” on page 4-4.
• Make sure that your browser has Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX enabled. If you are using
Internet Explorer, click Refresh to be sure that the Java applet is loaded.
• Try quitting the browser and launching it again.
• Make sure that you are using the correct login information. The factory default login name is

Wireless Cable Voice Gateway Model CVG834G Reference Manual
Troubleshooting a TCP/IP Network Using a Ping Utility
Most TCP/IP terminal devices and routers contain a ping utility that sends an echo request packet
to the designated device. The device then responds with an echo reply. Troubleshooting a TCP/IP
network is made easier by using the ping utility in your PC or workstation.
Testing the LAN Path to Your Gateway
You can ping the gateway from your PC to verify that the LAN path is set up correctly.
To ping the gateway from a PC running Windows 95 or later:
1. From the Windows toolbar, click Start, and then select Run.
2. In the field provided, type ping followed by the IP address of the gateway, as in this example:
ping 192.168.0.1
3. Click OK.
• You should see a message like this one:
Pinging <IP address> with 32 bytes of data
• If the path is working, you see this message:
Reply from <IP address>: bytes=32 time=NN ms TTL=xxx
• If the path is not working, you see this message:
Request timed out
If the path is not functioning correctly, you could have one of the following problems:
• Wrong physical connections
– Make sure that the LAN port LED is on. If the LED is off, follow the instructions in
“LAN LEDs are off, but ports are connected.” on page 5-2”.
– Check that the corresponding Link LEDs are on for your network interface card and
for the hub ports (if any) that are connected to your workstation and gateway.
• Wrong network configuration
– Verify that the Ethernet card driver software and TCP/IP software are both installed
and configured on your PC or workstation.
– Verify that the IP address for your gateway and your workstation are correct and that
the addresses are on the same subnet.

v2.0, November 2007
Wireless Cable Voice Gateway Model CVG834G Reference Manual
Testing the Path from Your PC to a Remote Device
After verifying that the LAN path works correctly, test the path from your PC to a remote device.
From the Windows run menu, type:
PING -n 10 <IP address>
where <IP address> is the IP address of a remote device such as your ISP’s DNS server.
If the path is working correctly, replies as in the previous section are displayed. If you do not
receive replies:
• Check that your PC has the IP address of your gateway listed as the default gateway. If the IP
configuration of your PC is assigned by DHCP, this information will not be visible in your
PC’s Network Control Panel. Verify that the IP address of the gateway is listed as the default
gateway as described in “Preparing a Computer for Network Access:” in Appendix B.
• Check to see that the network address of your PC (the portion of the IP address specified by
the netmask) is different from the network address of the remote device.
• Check that your Cable Link LED is on.
• If your ISP assigned a host name to your PC, enter that host name as the Account Name in the
Basic Settings page.
• Your ISP could be rejecting the Device MAC Address of your gateway because it does not
match the MAC Address of the PC you previously used to connect to a cable modem. In this
case you will need to clone your PCs MAC Address. Refer to “Installing the Voice Gateway”
on page 1-3.
