You can find WPS on the Hitron CGNV4 by using one of two methods:

1. Push-Button Configuration (PBC): Press and hold the round WPS button on the device until it flashes. Then, activate the WPS function on your wireless device within two minutes to connect.

2. PIN Configuration: Use the Personal Identification Number (PIN) printed on the device. Enter this PIN into the other WPS-capable device to authenticate and connect.

Both methods allow a secure connection using the WPA2 standard once connected.

Page 21: Ip Address Setup
A telephone is connected to the relevant Line port, and is on-hook. IP Address Setup Before you log into the CGNV4’s GUI, your computer’s IP address must be in the same subnet as the CGNV4. This allows your computer to communicate with the CGNV4.
Page 22: Manual Ip Address Setup
25. Bear in mind that ALL user-configured settings are lost. 1.4.1 Manual IP Address Setup By default, your CGNV4’s local IP address is 192.168.0.1. If your CGNV4 is using the default IP address, you should set your computer’s IP address to be between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254.
Page 23: Logging In To The Cgnv4
Hitron CGNV4 User’s Guide NOTE: If your CGNV4 is not using the default IP address, enter an IP address and subnet mask that places your computer in the same subnet as the CGNV4. Click OK. The Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) window closes. In the Local Area Connection Properties window, click OK.

The Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) is a telecommunications standard that defines the provision of data services) Internet access) over a traditional cable TV (CATV) network. Your CGNV4 supports DOCSIS version 3.0. Version 1.1, 02/2014. Copyright 2012 Hitron Technologies Version 1.1, 02/2014.
Page 27: Ip Addresses And Subnets
In the case of the CGNV4: The public network (Wide Area Network or WAN) is the link between the cable  connector and your Internet Service Provider. Your CGNV4’s IP address on this network is assigned by your service provider. Version 1.1, 02/2014. Copyright 2012 Hitron Technologies Version 1.1, 02/2014.

 Network (WLAN), if enabled. You are free to assign IP addresses to computers on the LAN and WLAN manually, or to allow the CGNV4 to assign them automatically via DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). IANA has reserved the following blocks of IP addresses to be used for private networks...
Page 29: Dhcp
By default, the CGNV4 is a DHCP client on the WAN (the CATV connection). It broadcasts an IP address over the cable network, and receives one from the service provider. By default, the CGNV4 is a DHCP server on the LAN; it provides IP addresses to computers on the LAN which request them.

(or other device). For example, if a single computer has an Ethernet card (to connect to your CGNV4 via one of the LAN ports) and also has a wireless card (to connect to your CGNV4 over the wireless interface) the MAC addresses of the two cards will be different.
Page 31: Routing Mode
2.1.6 Routing Mode When your CGNV4 is in routing mode, it acts as a gateway for computers on the LAN to access the Internet. The service provider assigns an IP address to the CGNV4 on the WAN, and all traffic for LAN computers is sent to that IP address. The CGNV4 assigns private IP addresses to LAN computers (when DHCP is active), and transmits the relevant traffic to each private IP address.
Page 32: Modulation
Hitron CGNV4 User’s Guide 2.1.10 Modulation Transmissions over the cable network are based on a strong, high frequency periodic waveform known as the “carrier wave.” This carrier wave is so called because it “carries” the data signal. The data signal itself is defined by variations in the carrier wave.

Firewall The term “firewall” comes from a construction technique designed to prevent the spread of fire from one room to another. Similarly, your CGNV4’s firewall prevents intrusion attempts and other undesirable activity originating from the WAN, keeping the computers on your LAN safe. You can also use filtering techniques to specify the computers and other devices you want to allow on the LAN, and prevent certain traffic from going from the LAN to the WAN.
