Wireless Configuration  
For a wireless connection, the SSID, also called the wireless network name, and the wireless  
security setting must be the same for the gateway and wireless computers or wireless adapters.  
NETGEAR strongly recommends that you use wireless security. This chapter includes:  
Planning Your Wireless Network  
For compliance and compatibility between similar products in your area, the operating channel  
and region must be set correctly.  
To configure the wireless network, you can either specify the wireless settings, or you can use Wi-  
Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to automatically set the SSID and implement WPA/WPA2 security.  
To manually configure the wireless settings, you must know the following:  
SSID. The default SSID for the gateway is Wireless.  
The wireless mode (802.11g, or 802.11b) that each wireless adapter supports.  
Wireless security option. To successfully implement wireless security, check each wireless  
adapter to determine which wireless security option it supports.  
Push 'N' Connect (WPS) automatically implements wireless security on the gateway while, at  
the same time, allowing you to automatically implement wireless security on any WPS-  
enabled devices (such as wireless computers and wireless adapter cards). You activate WPS by  
pressing a WPS button on the gateway, clicking an onscreen WPS button, or entering a PIN  
number. This generates a new SSID and implements WPA/WPA2 security.  
2-1  
v1.0, July 2009  
     
Wireless Cable Voice Gateway CG3000/CG3100 User Manual  
Note: NETGEAR’s Push 'N' Connect feature is based on the Wi-Fi Protected Setup  
(WPS) standard (for more information, see http://www.wi-fi.org). All other Wi-  
Fi-certified and WPS-capable products should be compatible with NETGEAR  
products that implement Push 'N' Connect.  
To set up your wireless network using the WPS feature:  
Use the WPS button on the side of the gateway (there is also an onscreen WPS button), or  
enter the PIN of the wireless device.  
Make sure that all wireless computers and wireless adapters on the network are Wi-Fi  
certified and WPA or WPA 2 capable, and that they support WPS configuration.  
Wireless Placement and Range Guidelines  
The range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the physical placement of  
the 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 gateway according to the following guidelines:  
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-of-  
sight 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.

Wireless Security Options  
Indoors, computers can connect over 802.11n wireless networks at a maximum range of up to 300  
feet. Such distances can allow for others outside your immediate area to access your network.  
Unlike wired network data, your wireless data transmissions can extend beyond your walls and  
can be received by anyone with a compatible adapter. For this reason, use the security features of  
your wireless equipment. The Voice Gateway provides highly effective security features which are  
covered in detail in this chapter. Deploy the security features appropriate to your needs.  
There are several ways you can enhance the security of your wireless network:  
WEP. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption provides data security. WEP Shared  
Key authentication and WEP data encryption block all but the most determined eavesdropper.  
This data encryption mode has been superseded by WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK.  
WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA2-PSK (AES). Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) using a pre-shared  
key to perform authentication and generate the initial data encryption keys. The very strong  
authentication along with dynamic per frame re-keying of WPA makes it virtually impossible  
to compromise.  
Restrict access to your router.  
For more information about wireless technology, see the link to the online document in “Wireless  
Networking Basics” in Appendix B.  
Manually Configuring Your Wireless Settings and Security  
You can view or manually configure the wireless settings for the gateway in the Wireless Settings  
screen. If you want to make changes, make sure to note the current settings first.  
Note: If you use a wireless computer to change the wireless network name (SSID) or  
wireless security settings, you will be disconnected when you click Apply. To  
avoid this problem, use a computer with a wired connection to access the gateway.  
To view or manually configure the wireless settings:  
1. Log in to the gateway as described in “Logging In to Your Gateway” on page 1-4.

Description  
Wireless Network Name (SSID)  
The SSID is also known as the wireless network name.  
Enter a 32-character (maximum) name in this field. The  
characters are case sensitive.  
In a setting where there is more than one wireless  
network, different wireless network names provide a  
means for separating the traffic. Any device you want to  
participate in a wireless network must use the SSID.  
Control Channel  
The wireless channel used by the gateway. The default is  
channel 11.  
You should not need to change the wireless channel  
unless you experience interference (shown by lost  
connections and/or slow data transfers). Should this  
happen, you might need to try different channels to see  
which is the best.

Select the desired wireless mode. The options are:  
• Auto  
b & g only. Only 802.11g and 802.11b wireless stations

On by default, you can also turn off the wireless radio to  
disable access through this device. This can be helpful  
for configuration, network tuning, or troubleshooting  
activities.  
Allow Broadcast Name  
(SSID)  
On by default, the gateway broadcasts its SSID, allowing  
wireless stations which have a “null” (blank) SSID to  
adopt the correct SSID. The default SSID is NETGEAR.  
If you disable broadcast of the SSID, only devices that  
have the correct SSID can connect. This nullifies the  
wireless network “discovery” feature of some products  
such as Windows XP, but the data is still fully exposed to  
a determined snoop using specialized test equipment  
like wireless sniffers. For this reason NETGEAR  
recommends that you also enable wireless security.

Port Forwarding  
Configuring Port Forwarding to Local Servers  
Using the port forwarding feature, you can allow certain types of incoming traffic to reach servers  
on your local network. For example, you might make a local Web server, FTP server, or game  
server visible and available to the Internet.  
Use the Port Forwarding screen to configure the router to forward specific incoming protocols to  
computers on your local network. In addition to servers for specific applications, you can also  
specify a default DMZ server to which all other incoming protocols are forwarded. The DMZ  
server is configured in the WAN Setup screen, as discussed in ““Setting Up a Default DMZ  
Server” on page 5-4.  
Before starting, you need to determine which type of service, application, or game you will  
provide, and the local IP address of the computer that will provide the service. Be sure the  
computer’s IP address never changes.  
To configure port forwarding to a local server:  
1. Log in to the gateway as described in “Logging In to Your Gateway” on page 1-4.  
2. Select Port Forwarding under Advanced in the main menu. The Port Forwarding screen  
displays:

If the service does not appear in the list, see the following section, “Adding a Custom Rule” on  
page 3-6.”  
4. Click Add. The service appears in the list in the screen.  
Adding a Custom Rule  
To define rule that does not appear in the Service list, you must first determine which port number  
or range of numbers is used by the application. You can usually determine this information by  
contacting the publisher of the application or user groups or newsgroups. When you have the port  
number information, follow these steps:  
1. In the Port Forwarding screen, enter the name of the rule in the Add Custom Rules section of  
the screen.  
2. In the Starting Port field, enter the beginning port number.  
If the application uses only a single port, enter the same port number in the Ending Port  
field.  
If the application uses a range of ports, enter the ending port number of the range in the  
Ending Port field.  
3. In the Service Type field, select the protocol. If you are unsure, select TCP/UDP.

this service.  
5. Click Apply. The service appears in the list.  
Application Example: Making a Local Web Server Public  
If you host a Web server on your local network, you can use port forwarding to allow Web requests  
from anyone on the Internet to reach your Web server.  
To make a local Web server public:  
1. Assign your Web server either a fixed IP address or a dynamic IP address using DHCP address  
reservation, as explained in “Using Address Reservation” on page 4-5. In this example, your  
router will always give your Web server an IP address of 192.168.1.33.  
2. 2. In the Port Forwarding screen, configure the router to forward the HTTP service to the local  
address of your Web server at 192.168.1.33. HTTP (port 80) is the standard protocol for Web  
servers.  
3. (Optional) Register a host name with a Dynamic DNS service, and configure your router to use  
the name as described in ““Configuring Dynamic DNS” on page 5-1.  
To access your Web server from the Internet, a remote user must know the IP address that has been  
assigned by your ISP. However, if you use a Dynamic DNS service, the remote user can reach your  
server by a user-friendly Internet name, such as mynetgear.dyndns.org.

Connecting to the Gateway’s Main Menu  
If you are unable to access the gateway’s main menu from a computer on your local network,  
check the following:  
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. Refer to the link to the online document “ITCP/IP Networking Basics” in  
Appendix B for help configuring your computer.  
Note: If your PC’s IP address is shown as 169.254.x.x:  
Recent versions of Windows and MacOS will 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 “Enabling Remote Management” on page 5-13.  
Make sure your browser has Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX enabled. If you are using Internet  
Explorer, click Refresh to make sure that the Java applet is loaded.  
Try quitting the browser and launching it again.  
Make sure you are using the correct login information. The gateway has two user names both  
lower-case (Caps Lock should be off):  
The superuser login name is mso with the default password of changeme.  
The other login name is admin with the default password of password.  
If the gateway does not save changes you have made, check the following:  
When entering configuration settings, be sure to click the Apply button before moving to  
another screen, or your changes are lost.  
Click the Refresh or Reload button in the Web browser. The changes may have occurred, but  
the 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.  
Additionally, your PC may not have the gateway configured as its TCP/IP gateway. If your PC  
obtains its information from the gateway by DHCP, reboot the PC and verify the gateway address.  
See the link to the online document “ITCP/IP Networking Basics” in Appendix B.  
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 use ping to verify that the LAN path to your gateway is set up correctly.  
To ping the gateway from a PC running Windows 95 or later:  
1. From the Windows toolbar, click on the Start button and 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

Wireless Cable Voice Gateway CG3000/CG3100 User Manual  
If the path is not working correctly, you could have one of the following problems:  
Wrong physical connections.  
Make sure the LAN port LED is on. If the LED is off, see “Using LEDs to  
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.  
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 functioning 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. See the link to the online document “ITCP/IP Networking Basics” 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 screen.
