3.Click Login. The Router Status screen displays. For more information about this screen, see “Viewing the VPN Firewall Configuration and System Status” on page 6-30.

Note: You might want to enable remote management at this time so that you can log in remotely in the future to manage the VPN firewall (see “Configuring an External Server for Authentication” on page 6-11). If you enable remote management, NETGEAR strongly advises you to change your password (see “Changing Passwords and Settings” on page 6-8).

Navigating the Menus

The Web Configuration Manager menus are organized in a layered structure of main categories and submenus:

Main menu. The horizontal orange bar near the top of the page is the main menu, containing the primary configuration categories. Clicking on a primary category changes the contents of the submenu bar.

Submenu. The horizontal grey bar immediately below the main menu is the submenu, containing subcategories of the currently selected primary category.

Tab. Immediately below the submenu bar, at the top of the menu active window, are one or more tabs, further subdividing the currently selected subcategory if necessary.

Option arrow. To the right of the tabs on some menus are one or more blue dots with an arrow in the center. Clicking an option arrow brings up either a popup window or an advanced option menu.

Tip: In the instructions in this manual, we may refer to a menu using the notation primary subcategory, such as Network Configuration WAN Settings. In this example, Network is the selected primary category (in the main menu) and WAN Settings is the selected subcategory (in the submenu).

You can now proceed to the first configuration task, configuring the VPN firewall’s Internet connection.
