Basic Configuration Of The Router; Accessing The Web Configuration Manager - NETGEAR HR314 Reference Manual

This chapter describes how to perform the basic configuration of your Model HR314 802.11a
Hi-Speed 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:
Turn on the router and wait for initialization to complete.
1.
Allow at least ten seconds and verify that the Test LED is off.
Reboot your PC to obtain DHCP configuration from the router.
2.
Launch your web browser.
3.
Note: If you normally use a login program (such as Enternet or WinPOET) to access the
Internet, do not launch that program.
Click your browser's Stop button.
4.
In the Address (or Location) box of your browser, type http://192.168.0.1 and press ENTER.
