Initial Configuration Of The Router; Configuring For Internet Access - NETGEAR RT311 Reference Manual

This chapter describes how to perform the initial configuration of your Model RT311 or RT314
Internet Access Gateway Router using the Setup Wizard, which walks you through the
configuration process.

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:
Turn on the router and wait for initialization to complete.
1.
Allow at least one minute and verify that the TEST LED is off.
Reboot your PC to obtain DHCP configuration from the router.
2.
Launch your web browser.
3.
In the Address box of your browser, type http://192.168.0.1 and press ENTER.
