This chapter describes how to perform the basic configuration of your Model RP614 Web Safe

Router using the Setup Wizard, which walks you through the configuration process for your

Internet connection.

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 or Netscape Navigator 4.0 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.

Allow at least ten seconds and verify that the Test LED is off.

Reboot your PC to obtain DHCP configuration from the router.

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.

Click your browser's Stop button.

In the Address (or Location) box of your browser, type http://192.168.0.1 and press ENTER.
