Basic Configuration of the Router
This chapter describes how to perform the basic configuration of your Model MR814 Wireless
Router using the Setup Wizard, which walks you through the configuration process for your
Internet connection.
Accessing the Web Configuration Manager
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 Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or Netscape Navigator
4.7 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 ten seconds and verify that the Test LED is off.
2. Reboot your computer to obtain DHCP configuration from the router.
3. Launch your web browser.
Note: If you normally use a login program such as Enternet or WinPOET to access the
Internet, do not launch that program.
4. Click your browser’s Stop button.
5. In the Address or Location box of your browser, type http://192.168.0.1 and press ENTER.
