The Model MR314 router supports 64-bit (sometimes referred to as 40-bit) and 128-bit WEP encryption security, and works with any standards-based IEEE 802.11b products. WEP keywords may be entered manually or generated by passphrase. Content Filtering With its content filtering features, the Model MR314 router prevents objectionable content from reaching your PCs. Its content filtering features include: · Content filtering by domain or keyword The Model MR314 router uses content filtering to enforce your network's Internet access policies. The router allows you to control access to Internet content by screening for keywords within Web URLs or newsgroup names. Logging of inappropriate use You can configure the Model MR314 router to log access to Web sites and to e-mail the log to you. You can also configure the router to send an immediate alert e-mail message to you whenever a local user attempts to access a blocked Web site. · Security The Model MR314 router is equipped with several features designed to maintain security, as described in this section. Introduction 1-3 Reference Guide for the Model MR314 Cable/DSL Wireless Router · PCs Hidden by NAT Network address translation (NAT) opens a temporary path to the Internet for requests originating from the local network. Requests originating from outside the LAN are discarded, preventing users outside the LAN from finding and directly accessing the PCs on the LAN. Port Forwarding with NAT Although NAT prevents Internet locations from directly accessing the PCs on the LAN, the router allows you to direct incoming traffic to specific PCs based on the service port number of the incoming request, or to one designated "DMZ" host computer. Encryption of the Wireless Link For security against eavesdropping of the wireless signal, the router supports IEEE 802.11b standard 64-bit (sometimes referred to as 40-bit) and 128-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption with Shared Key authentication. · · Autosensing 10/100 Ethernet With its internal, 4-port 10/100 switch, the Model MR314 router can connect to either a 10 Mbps standard Ethernet network or a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet network. The local LAN interface is autosensing and is capable of full-duplex or half-duplex operation. The Model MR314 router incorporates Auto UplinkTM technology. Each LOCAL Ethernet port will automatically sense whether the Ethernet cable plugged into the port should have a 'normal' connection (e.g. connecting to a PC) or an 'uplink' connection (e.g. connecting to a router, switch, or hub). That port will then configure itself to the correct configuration. This feature also eliminates the need to worry about crossover cables, as Auto UplinkTM will accommodate either type of cable to make the right connection. TCP/IP The Model MR314 router supports the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Routing Information Protocol (RIP). For further information about TCP/IP, refer to Appendix B, "Network and Routing Basics." · IP Address Masquerading by Dynamic NAT+ The Model MR314 router allows several networked PCs to share an Internet account using only a single IP address, which may be statically or dynamically assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP). This technique, an extension of Network Address Translation (NAT), is also known as IP address masquerading and allows the use of an inexpensive single-user ISP account. Introduction 1-4 Reference Guide for the Model MR314 Cable/DSL Wireless Router · Automatic Configuration of Attached PCs by DHCP The Model MR314 router dynamically assigns network configuration information, including IP, gateway, and domain name server (DNS) addresses, to attached PCs on the LAN using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This feature greatly simplifies configuration of LAN-attached PCs. DNS Proxy When DHCP is enabled and no DNS addresses are specified, the router provides its own address as a DNS server to the attached PCs. The router obtains actual DNS addresses from the ISP during connection setup and forwards DNS requests from the LAN. PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) PPP over Ethernet is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over an always-on connection by simulating a dial-up connection. · · Easy Installation and Management You can install, configure, and operate the Model MR314 Cable/DSL Wireless Router within minutes after connecting it to the network. The following features simplify installation and management tasks: · Browser-based management Browser-based configuration allows you to easily configure your router from almost any type of personal computer, such as Windows, Macintosh, or Linux.

Preparing Your Personal Computers for IP Networking The Model MR314 Cable/DSL Wireless Router uses the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). In order to access the Internet through the router, each PC on your network must have TCP/IP installed and selected as the networking protocol. Note: In this chapter, we use the term "PC" to refer to personal computers in general, and not necessarily Windows computers. Most operating systems include the software components you need to install and use TCP/IP on your PC: · · · · Windows® 95 or later (including Windows NT®) includes the software components for establishing a TCP/IP network. Windows 3.1 does not include a TCP/IP component. You need to purchase a third-party TCP/ IP application package such as NetManage Chameleon. Macintosh Operating System 7 or later includes the software components for establishing a TCP/IP network. All versions of UNIX or Linux include TCP/IP components. Preparing Your Network 3-1 Reference Guide for the Model MR314 Cable/DSL Wireless Router Follow the instructions provided with your operating system or networking software to install TCP/IP on your computer. Although TCP/IP is built into the Windows operating system (starting with Windows 95), you need to enable and configure it as described in "Configuring Windows 95 or later for IP Networking" on page 3-2. To configure the Macintosh, see "Configuring the Macintosh for IP Networking on page 3-5. In your IP network, all PCs and the router must be assigned IP addresses. Each PC must also have certain other IP configuration information such as a subnet mask (netmask), a domain name server (DNS) address, and a default gateway address. In most cases, you should install TCP/IP so that the PC obtains its specific network configuration information from a DHCP server during bootup. For a detailed explanation of the meaning and purpose of these configuration items, refer to Appendix B, "Network and Routing Basics." The Model MR314 router is shipped preconfigured as a DHCP server. The router assigns the following TCP/IP configuration information automatically when the PCs are rebooted: · · · PC or workstation IP addresses--192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.31 Subnet mask--255.255.255.0 Gateway address (the router)--192.168.0.1 These addresses are part of the IETF-designated private address range for use in private networks. Configuring Windows 95 or later for IP Networking As part of the PC preparation process, you need to manually install and configure TCP/IP on each networked PC. Before starting, locate your Windows CD; you may need to insert it during the TCP/IP installation process. To configure Microsoft® Windows 95 or later for IP networking: 1. 2. On the Windows taskbar, click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. Double-click the Network icon. The Network window opens, which displays a list of installed components: 3-2 Preparing Your Network Reference Guide for the Model MR314 Cable/DSL Wireless Router You must have a network adapter, the TCP/IP protocol, and Client for Microsoft Networks. Note: It is not necessary to remove any other network components shown in the Network window in order to install the adapter, TCP/IP, or Client for Microsoft Networks. If you need the adapter: a. b. c. Click the Add button. Select Adapter, and then click Add. Select the manufacturer and model of your network adapter, and then click OK. If you need TCP/IP: a. b. c. Click the Add button. Select Protocol, and then click Add. Select Microsoft. Preparing Your Network 3-3 Reference Guide for the Model MR314 Cable/DSL Wireless Router d. Select TCP/IP, and then click OK. If you need Client for Microsoft Networks: a. b. c. d. 3. Click the Add button. Select Client, and then click Add. Select Microsoft. Select Client for Microsoft Networks, and then click OK. Restart your PC for the changes to take effect. Configuring TCP/IP Properties After the TCP/IP protocol components are installed, each PC must be assigned specific information about itself and resources that are available on its network. The simplest way to configure this information is to allow the PC to obtain the information from the internal DHCP server of the Model MR314 router. Note: If an ISP technician configured your PC during the installation of a broadband modem, or if you configured it using instructions provided by your ISP, you may need to copy the current configuration information for use in the configuration of your router. Refer to "Obtaining ISP Configuration Information (Windows)" on page 3-8 or "Obtaining ISP Configuration Information (Macintosh)" on page 3-9 for further information. If you are using DHCP with the recommended default addresses, you can configure your PCs by following these steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Install TCP/IP on each PC, leaving the PC configured to obtain configuration settings automatically (by DHCP). In the wireless adapter configuration of your wireless-interfaced PCs, set the ESSID to the router's default ESSID: Wireless (note the capitalization). Disable WEP encryption. Connect your Ethernet-interfaced PCs to the router. Restart the router and allow it to boot. Restart each PC. 3-4 Preparing Your Network Reference Guide for the Model MR314 Cable/DSL Wireless Router Verifying TCP/IP Properties (Windows) After your PC is configured and has rebooted, you can check the TCP/IP configuration using the Windows 95, 98, and Millenium utility winipcfg.exe (for Windows NT systems, use ipconfig.exe). To check your PC's TCP/IP configuration: 1. On the Windows taskbar, click the Start button, and then click Run. The Run window opens. 2. Type winipcfg, and then click OK. The IP Configuration window opens, which lists (among other things), your IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. 3. Select your network adapter. The window is updated to show your settings, which should match the values below if you are using the default TCP/IP settings that NETGEAR recommends: · · · The IP address is between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.31 The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 The default gateway is 192.168.0.1 Configuring the Macintosh for IP Networking Beginning with Macintosh Operating System 7, TCP/IP is already installed on the Macintosh. On each networked Macintosh, you will need to configure TCP/IP to use DHCP by following these steps: 1. From the Apple menu, select Control Panels, then TCP/IP. Preparing Your Network 3-5 Reference Guide for the Model MR314 Cable/DSL Wireless Router The TCP/IP Control Panel opens: 2. 3. From the "Connect via" box, select your Macintosh's Ethernet interface. From the "Configure" box, select Using DHCP Server. You can leave the DHCP Client ID box empty. 4. 5. Close the TCP/IP Control Panel. Repeat this for each Macintosh on your network. Verifying TCP/IP Properties (Macintosh) After your Macintosh is configured and has rebooted, you can check the TCP/IP configuration by returning to the TCP/IP Control Panel. From the Apple menu, select Control Panels, then TCP/IP. 3-6 Preparing Your Network Reference Guide for the Model MR314 Cable/DSL Wireless Router The panel is updated to show your settings, which should match the values below if you are using the default TCP/IP settings that NETGEAR recommends: · · · The IP Address is between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.31 The Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 The Router address is 192.168.0.1 If you do not see these values, you may need to restart your Macintosh or you may need to switch the "Configure" setting to a different option, then back again to "Using DHCP Server". Your Internet Account For access to the Internet, you need to contract with an Internet service provider (ISP) for a single-user Internet access account using an external broadband access device such as a cable modem or DSL modem. This modem must be a separate physical box (not a card) and must provide an Ethernet port intended for connection to a Network Interface Card (NIC) in a PC. For a single-user Internet account, your ISP supplies TCP/IP configuration information for one PC. With a typical account, much of the configuration information is dynamically assigned when your PC is first booted up while connected to the ISP, and you will not need to know that dynamic information. In order to share the Internet connection among several computers, your router takes the place of the single PC, and you need to configure it with the TCP/IP information that the single PC would normally use. When the router's WAN port is connected to the broadband modem, the router appears to be a single PC to the ISP. The router then allows the PCs on the local network to masquerade as the single PC to access the Internet through the broadband modem. The method used by the router to accomplish this is called Network Address Translation (NAT) or IP masquerading. Login Protocols Some ISPs require a special login protocol. In this case, you will need to know what type of protocol is used, and you will need a login name and password. Some common protocols are: · PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) Two common PPPoE clients are WinPOET and EnterNet. Preparing Your Network 3-7 Reference Guide for the Model MR314 Cable/DSL Wireless Router · RoadRunner Not all RoadRunner service areas require a login protocol. If your ISP is RoadRunner, you should ask whether your PC must run a RoadRunner login program. PPTP PPTP is a VPN client, but it is also used in Europe by Alcatel's ANT system and others as an account login client. BigPond Authentication · · After your network and router are configured, the router will perform the login task when needed, and you will no longer need to login from your PC. Account Information Unless these items are dynamically assigned by the ISP, your ISP should give you the following basic information for your account: · · · · An IP address and subnet mask A gateway IP address, which is the address of the ISP's router One or more domain name server (DNS) IP addresses Host name and domain suffix For example, your account's full server names may look like this: mail.xxx.yyy.com In this example, the domain suffix is xxx.yyy.com. If any of these items are dynamically supplied by the ISP, your router automatically acquires them. If an ISP technician configured your PC during the installation of the broadband modem, or if you configured it using instructions provided by your ISP, you need to copy configuration information from your PC's Network TCP/IP Properties window (or Macintosh TCP/IP Control Panel) before reconfiguring your PC for use with the router. These procedures are described next. Obtaining ISP Configuration Information (Windows) As mentioned above, you may need to collect configuration information from your PC so that you can use this information when you configure the Model MR314 router. Following this procedure is only necessary when your ISP does not dynamically supply the account information. To get the information you need to configure the router for Internet access: 3-8 Preparing Your Network Reference Guide for the Model MR314 Cable/DSL Wireless Router 1. 2.
