Now that you have one computer set up to access the Internet through the router, you can
connect other computers so they can share the modem.
1. Connect a Category 5 Ethernet patch cable between another computer and one of the
remaining numbered Ethernet ports on the router.
2. Check to make sure that the associated port number light is lit. The light flashes when
data is being transferred over the connection.
Note: If the numbered light isn't lit, go to Troubleshooting on page 11.
3. Go back to Installation Step 3 (pages 6 and 7) 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 computers to
connect to this router, you must connect them to
a hub or switch (such as the NETGEAR 5-port or
8-port Fast Ethernet Switch) and then connect
the hub or switch to the router. By using hubs or
switches, you may connect up to 253 computers
to the router.
