Introduction
This chapter introduces the CGNV and its GUI (Graphical User Interface).
1.1 CGNV Overview
Your CGNV is a voice-enabled cable modem and wireless access point that allows you
to connect your computers, analog telephones, wireless devices, and other network
devices to one another, and to the Internet via the cable connection.
Computers with a wired connection to the CGNV are on the Local Area Network (LAN),
computers with a wireless connection to the CGNV are on the Wireless Local Area
Network (WLAN) and the CGNV connects to the service provider over the Wide Area
Network (WAN).

WPS Press this button to begin the WiFi Protected Setup
(WPS) Push-Button Configuration (PBC) procedure.
Press the PBC button on your wireless clients in the
coverage area within two minutes to enable them to join
the wireless network.
See WPS on page 70 for more information.
USB The CGNV provides two USB 2.0 host ports, one on the
front of the device and one on the rear, allowing you to
plug in USB flash disks for mounting and sharing
through the LAN interfaces via the Samba protocol
(network neighborhood).
The CGNV supports the following Windows file systems:
FAT16
FAT32
NTFS
USB devices must not drain more than 500mA
from the USB port. USB devices requiring
more than 500mA should be provided with
their own power source(s).
Reset Use this button to reboot or reset your CGNV.
Press the button and hold it for less than five seconds
to reboot the CGNV. The CGNV restarts, using your
existing settings.
Press the button and hold it for more than five
seconds to delete all user-configured settings and
restart the CGNV using its factory default settings.
See Resetting the CGNV on page 26 for more
information on resetting the CGNV.
NOTE: Unless you previously backed-up the CGNV’s
configuration settings prior to resetting the
CGNV, the settings cannot be recovered.
