This installation guide shows you how to connect the router and configure it for secure Internet access. Setup is easy. Follow the instructions in this guide and your system will be up and running quickly. If you have problems, there is a troubleshooting section on pages 13-15 to help you. You can also get more detailed troubleshooting information from the Reference Manual on the CD, online from or by phone. There is a short glossary available on page 16 to help answer any questions you have about terminology. A more extensive glossary can be found in the Reference Manual. Installation Overview Estimated time: 15 to 30 minutes to complete the installation. 1. Gather the configuration information you have for your working DSL or cable modem connection to the Internet. 2. Install the router between the DSL or cable modem and one computer. 3. Configure that computer to work with the router and restart the computer and modem. 4. Configure the router and go online to test the connection. 5. Connect other computers, configure them and restart each. (optional) 6. Configure for content filtering or port forwarding. (optional) On the MR814 GearBox™ CD, you’ll find the MR814 Installation Assistant, which supplements the instructions in this installation guide by animating the step-by-step procedures given here. For more detailed information about installation, troubleshooting and configuration procedures, see the Reference Manual on the CD. What’s in the Box Wireless Router MR814 MR814 Wireless Router GearBox™ CD, installation guide, support information card & warranty/registration card Vertical Stand Power adapter When you open the box, verify that you received everything. The package includes: • MR814 Cable/DSL Wireless Router (The term Gateway and Router are often used interchangeably. Both perform the same function of allowing multiple computers to share the Internet.) • AC power adapter • Vertical stand • MR814 GearBox™ CD, including a full Reference Manual and Installation Assistant. • MR814 Installation Guide (this document) • Warranty and registration card • Support information card • NETGEAR Router ISP Guide (also available online and on the CD) If the support information card is missing, you can get contact information at NETGEAR.com in the Customer Service area. 1 11 Prepare to Install the Router Verify Your Equipment Before installing the MR814 router, you should have: • An external DSL or cable modem with an Ethernet port set up and working with one computer. • Working ISP Internet Connection • Internet Explorer 5.0 or later OR Netscape Navigator 4.7 or later. You’ll be installing the router between the modem and the computer. For each computer that you want to connect to the router, you must have • An available RJ-45 Ethernet port (or adapter) — either built-in or from a network interface card (NIC) installed in the computer OR a 2.4 GHz wireless adapter (Wi-Fi 802.11b at 11Mbps). Note: If you have a built-in modem or a modem card, the telephone jack for the modem looks very similar to an RJ-45 Ethernet port, but the RJ-45 port is larger. • TCP/IP networking installed. • Windows® computers: Client for Microsoft® Networks software installed. Note: TCP/IP and Client for Microsoft Networks is installed on most Windows computers. If you can view Web sites with a browser, you are ready to go. Please see the Reference Manual on the CD if you need help installing either on a Windows computer. • A Category 5 (Cat 5) Ethernet patch cable Phone jack or cable outlet DSL or cable modem Gather ISP Configuration Information for Your Working Connection to the Internet Later in the setup process you’ll need to configure the router to work with your network. A Setup Wizard is available to help you through this procedure. Alternatively, you can configure the router yourself using information that you can get from your computer or your ISP about your current Internet connection. This page and the next page include blanks for you to fill in and refer to later. To get the needed information from your computer: • Windows 95/98/Me: Open the Network control panel, select a TCP/IP entry, and click Properties. • Windows 2000/XP: Open Local Area Network Connection and click Properties. • Macintosh®: Open the TCP/IP (or Network) control panel. Your ISP should have provided you with a summary sheet of all the information needed to connect your computer to the Internet. Additionally, the NETGEAR Router ISP Guide gives the requirements for many ISPs. If you cannot locate the information, you’ll have to contact your ISP. Host and Domain Names Some ISPs use a specific host or domain name—like CCA7324-A or home. If you haven’t been given specific information about host or domain names then use the following examples as a guide: • If your main e-mail account with your ISP is aa...
