FR328S Cable/DSL ProSafe Firewall with Dial Back-Up
When accessing your router from the Internet, you will type your router's WAN IP address into
your browser's Address (in IE) or Location (in Netscape) box, followed by a colon (:) and the
custom port number. For example, if your external address is 134.177.0.123 and you use port
number 8080, enter in your browser:

Upgrading the Router's Firmware

The software of the FR328S Firewall is stored in FLASH memory, and can be upgraded as new
software is released by NETGEAR.
Upgrade files can be downloaded from NETGEAR's website. If the upgrade file is compressed
(.ZIP file), you must first extract the binary (.BIN or .IMG) file before uploading it to the firewall.
Note: The Web browser used to upload new firmware into the firewall must support HTTP
uploads. NETGEAR recommends using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or Netscape Navigator
4.7 and above.
