Introduction
The cable data gateway provides you with an easy and secure way to set up a WiFi home
network with fast access to the Internet over a cable network. It lets you block unsafe Internet
content and applications and protects the devices (WiFi devices, computers, gaming
consoles, and so on) that you connect to your home network.
To set up your new cable data gateway, use the installation guide that comes in the package.
This chapter provides supplemental information that might help you with the setup.
