Wireless Configuration
This chapter describes how to configure the wireless features of your CG814M Wireless Cable 
Modem Gateway.
Considerations For A Wireless Network
In planning your wireless network, you should consider the level of security required. You should 
also select the physical placement of your gateway in order to maximize the network speed. For 
further information on wireless networking, refer to “
Security 
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, NETGEAR strongly 
recommends that you make use of the security features of your wireless equipment. As a minimum 
security precaution, you should change the SSID setting of all devices on your network from the 
factory setting to a unique password. Restricting access by MAC address filtering adds another 
obstacle against unwanted hosts joining your network. To hinder a determined eavesdropper, you 
should enable Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption.
Note: 
If you are configuring the gateway from a wireless PC and you change the 
gateway’s SSID, channel, or WEP settings, you will lose your wireless connection when 
you click on Apply. You must then change the wireless settings of your PC to match the 
gateway’s new settings.
