Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a NETGEAR MR814 Cable/DSL Wireless Router. With this router

you can have secure Internet access through a high-speed DSL or cable modem and share the

connection with several computers.

This installation guide shows you how to connect the router and configure it for secure

Internet access. Setup is easy. Follow the instructions in this guide and your system will be up

and running quickly.

If you have problems, there is a troubleshooting section on pages 13-15 to help you. You can

also get more detailed troubleshooting information from the Reference Manual on the CD,

online from www.NETGEAR.com or by phone. There is a short glossary available on page 16

to help answer any questions you have about terminology. A more extensive glossary can be

found in the Reference Manual.

Prepare to Install the Router

Verify Your Equipment

Before installing the MR814 router, you should have:

• An external DSL or cable modem with an

Ethernet port set up and working with one

computer.

• Working ISP Internet Connection

• Internet Explorer 5.0 or later OR Netscape

Navigator 4.7 or later.

You’ll be installing the router between the modem and the computer.

For each computer that you want to connect to the router, you must have

• An available RJ-45 Ethernet port (or adapter) — either built-in or from a network

interface card (NIC) installed in the computer OR a 2.4 GHz wireless adapter (Wi-Fi

802.11b at 11Mbps).

Note: If you have a built-in modem or a modem card, the telephone jack for the

modem looks very similar to an RJ-45 Ethernet port, but the RJ-45 port is larger.

• TCP/IP networking installed.

• Windows® computers: Client for Microsoft® Networks software installed.

Note: TCP/IP and Client for Microsoft Networks is installed on most Windows

computers. If you can view Web sites with a browser, you are ready to go. Please

see the Reference Manual on the CD if you need help installing either on a

Windows computer.

• A Category 5 (Cat 5) Ethernet patch cable

DSL or cable modem

Phone jack or

cable outlet

Gather ISP Configuration Information for

Your Working Connection to the Internet

Later in the setup process you’ll need to configure the router to work with your network. A

Setup Wizard is available to help you through this procedure. Alternatively, you can configure

the router yourself using information that you can get from your computer or your ISP about

your current Internet connection.

This page and the next page include blanks for you to fill in and refer to later. To get the

needed information from your computer:

•Windows 95/98/Me: Open the Network control panel, select a TCP/IP entry, and click

Properties.

•Windows 2000/XP: Open Local Area Network Connection and click Properties.

•Macintosh®: Open the TCP/IP (or Network) control panel.

Host and Domain Names

Some ISPs use a specific host or domain name—like CCA7324-A or home. If you haven’t

been given specific information about host or domain names then use the following examples

as a guide:

• If your main e-mail account with your ISP is aaa@yyy.com, then use aaa as your host

name. (Your ISP might call this your account, user, host, computer or system name.)

• If your ISP’s mail server is mail.xxx.yyy.com, then use xxx.yyy.com as the domain name.

ISP Account name:

ISP Domain name:

Your ISP should have provided you with a summary sheet of all the information needed to connect your

computer to the Internet. Additionally, the NETGEAR Router ISP Guide gives the requirements for many

ISPs. If you cannot locate the information, you’ll have to contact your ISP.

NETGEAR MR814_QCard-final.qxd 7/11/02 10:58 AM Page 7

ISP Login Name

If your ISP requires a login name and password (possibly because you have a PPPoE account),

fill in the following:

Password:

Service name: (if required by your ISP)

Note: The login name could be called a user name or account name by your ISP.

The login name is case sensitive. You must type it exactly as given by your ISP. For

example, c_jones is a different login name than C_Jones or cjones.

Fixed (or Static) IP Address

If you have a static IP address through your ISP, fill in the following information:

Internet IP address:

Subnet mask:

Gateway IP address:

ISP DNS Server Address Information

If you were given specific Domain Name System (DNS) server addresses, fill in the following:

DNS Server IP address(es):

Wireless Settings

Wireless Network Name (called a Service Set Identifier or SSID). This can be anything up to

32 characters as long as you can use the same name with all devices in your wireless network.

The default is Wireless.

Wireless Network Name:

Security Encryption Passphrase (called Wired Equivalent Privacy or WEP). Encryption will protect

your network from evesdroppers. The Passphrase can be anything as long as you use the same one

for all devices in your wireless network. The default setting for Security Encryption is Disabled.

Security Encryption Passphrase:

...

Note: For example, a

valid IP address could

be 169.254.141.148.

...

Note: Case Sensitive

Install the Router

After unpacking the box and locating the configuration

information, you’re ready to install the router. You may also

configure the router from a wireless computer. If so, set the

computer’s Wireless Network Name (SSID) to Wireless and

disable the Security Encryption (WEP).

Note: You do not have to power down any equipment to

do this, but if you need to move your computers

(perhaps to get to ports in the back), you may want to

shut down the computers before moving them around.

1. Locate the Ethernet cable currently going from the DSL

or cable modem to the computer that you use to access

the Internet. See Cable A in the illustration.

Note: You must use this cable to connect the DSL or cable modem to your router

since this may be a special cable even though it looks like other LAN cables.

2. Remove this cable from the computer and insert that end into the Internet port

on the router. (See the label on the bottom of the router to locate the Internet port.)

3. Skip this step if you are using a wireless computer. Use the Ethernet patch cable to

connect the computer to one of the four numbered Ethernet ports on the router. See

Cable B in the illustration.

4. Connect the power adapter’s cord into the back of the router and then plug the adapter

into a power source such as a wall socket or power strip.

Note: If you want to connect other computers to the router, don’t connect them

now. Do that after you know that the modem/router setup works with one computer.

Check the setup

• After supplying power to the router, the Test light

turns on for a few seconds and then goes off.

Note: If the Test light stays on or blinks, go to Troubleshooting on page 13.

• The Power, Internet and Wireless lights should be lit.

• If a computer is connected and powered up the number

of the connected port should be lit and may blink to

show network activity.

Note: If the connection is a 100 Mbps connection, the number is green. If it is a 10

Mbps connection, the number is yellow. If either the Power, Internet, or port

number light isn’t lit, go to Troubleshooting on page 13.
