Chapter 3: Connect the Gateway
Overview
Unlike a simple hub or switch, the Gateway's setup consists of more than
simply plugging hardware together. You will have to configure your networked
PCs to accept the IP addresses that the Gateway assigns them (if applicable),
and you will also have to configure the Gateway with setting(s) provided by
your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
The installation technician from your ISP should have left the setup
information with you after installing your broadband connection. If not, you can
call your ISP to request the data.
Once you have the setup information you need for your specific type of
Internet connection, you can begin installation and setup of the Gateway.
Connecting Your Hardware Together and Booting Up
1. Before you begin, make sure that all of you hardware is powered off,
including the Gateway, PCs, hubs, and switches.
2. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports (labeled 1, 2,
3, or 4) on the back of the Gateway and the other end to a standard port on
a network device, e.g., a PC, print server, hub, or switch. Repeat the above
step to connect more PCs or network devices to the Gateway.
3. Connect the cable from your ISP to the Cable port on the Gateway's back
panel.
4. Connect the power-supply cable to the Power port on the rear of the
Gateway, then plug the supplied AC power cable into a power outlet and
power on the Netgear CG814W.
