Computers (Optional)
Now that you have one computer set up to access the Internet through the firewall, you can
connect other computers so they can share the modem.
Wired PCs
1. Connect a Category 5 Ethernet patch cable between another computer and one of the
remaining numbered Local ports on the firewall.
2. Check to make sure that the associated port number's Link light is lit on the firewall.
PWR
Note: If the numbered Link light isn't lit, go to Troubleshooting on page 13.
3. Go back to Installation Step 3 (pages 8 and 9) and go through the sequence of steps
applicable for each computer.
4. Restart each computer.
5. Test each computer's connection by going to NETGEAR's Web site
(www.NETGEAR.com) from each computer.
Note: If you have more than 4 wired computers or devices to connect to this firewall,
you must connect them to a hub or switch (such as the NETGEAR 8-port Fast
Ethernet Switch) and then connect the hub or switch to the firewall. Connect the other
hub or switch to Port 4 of the FM114P and press the Uplink button. If Port 4's Link light
is not lit, change the Uplink button to the other position and check the Link light again.
By using hubs or switches, you may connect up to 253 computers to the firewall.
Wireless PCs
1. Set the PC's SSID to the firewall's SSID. The default is Wireless
2. Configure the PC's WEP encryption to match the settings of the firewall. The default
setting is WEP Disabled.
3. Restart the PC, open a browser, and make sure the computer can access the Internet.
