Blocking Keywords, Sites and Services
The gateway provides a variety of options for blocking Internet content and communications to the
gateway. You can control access to Internet content by screening for keywords within Web
addresses; you also can block access to all sites except those that are explicitly allowed. Blocking
options include:
• Blocking access from your LAN to Internet locations that contain keywords that your specify.
• Blocking access to websites (domains) that you specify as off-limits.
• Allowing access to only websites (domains) that you specify as allowed.
You can block access to the Internet by a specific computer based on the hardware MAC address
of that computer. See “Using MAC Filtering to Block Access” on page 3-7.
Blocking Keywords and Domains
You can restrict access to Internet content based on Web address keywords and domain names. A
domain name is the name of a particular website. For example, for the address www.netgear.com,
the domain name is NETGEAR.com.

1. Log in to the gateway by entering the default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1, the parent
user name of MSO, and default password of changeme or use whatever password and LAN
address you have chosen for the gateway in parent mode.
