Introduction

NETGEAR's FR314, FR318, and FV318 Routers provide your network with true hardware-based firewall
security. Designed with Stateful Packet Inspection technology to prevent Denial of Service (DoS) attacks
and malicious packets, they also give you Internet access filtering ability based on time of day, URL, or Web
page content; high-speed Internet sharing for up to eight PCs (FV318 starts with 20), upgradable to 45
PCs; Web-based setup; and logging and reporting capabilities.
This guide shows you how to configure your NETGEAR routers and your PC network—which can include
Windows and Macintosh platform personal computers—for secure Internet access. For more detailed infor-
mation about installation or for configuring advanced features, refer to the Reference Guide for the
FR314/FR318/FV318 Routers on the enclosed FR314/FR318/FV318 Resource CD-ROM.
