Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a NETGEAR FR114W Cable/DSL ProSafe Wireless-Ready Firewall

This installation guide shows you how to connect the firewall and configure it and your
computers 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 page 13 to help you—or you can
