Basic Configuration of the Router

This chapter describes how to perform the basic configuration of your Model RP114 Web Safe Router using the Setup Wizard, which walks you through the configuration process for your Internet connection. This chapter also describes the configuration for content filtering.

Configuring for Internet Access

In order to use the browser-based Web Configuration Manager, your PC must have a web browser program installed such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. Because the Configuration Manager uses Java, your Web browser must be Java-enabled and support HTTP uploads. NETGEAR recommends using Netscape Navigator 3.0 or above. Free browser programs are readily available for Windows, Macintosh, or UNIX/Linux.

To configure for Internet access using your browser:

1.Turn on the router and wait for initialization to complete. Allow at least one minute and verify that the TEST LED is off.

2.Reboot your PC to obtain DHCP configuration from the router.

3.Launch your web browser.

4.In the Address box of your browser, type http://192.168.0.1 and press ENTER.
