Your network cables are connected and you are ready to restart your network.

Check the FVS114 status lights to verify the following:

PWR: The PWR light should turn solid green. If it does not turn solid green, 
check the adapter or the power switch.

TEST: The TEST light goes on when the router is first turned on and then 
goes off. If after two minutes it is still on, see the Troubleshooting Tips in 
this guide.

INTERNET: The INTERNET port LINK/ACT light should be lit. If not, 
make sure the Ethernet cable is securely attached to the FVS114 Internet port 
and the modem. Also, make sure the modem is powered on.

LOCAL: A LOCAL LINK/ACT light should be lit. The 100 LED indicates 
your computer is communicating at 100 Mbps; off indicates 10 Mbps. If a 
LOCAL LINK/ACT light is not lit, check that the Ethernet cable from the 
computer to the firewall is securely attached at both ends, and that the 
computer is turned on.

Now, Configure the FVS114 for Internet Access

Use the Smart Wizard configuration assistant to configure the FVS114.

1.

From the Ethernet connected computer you just set up, open a browser such as 
Internet Explorer or Netscape® Navigator. With the FVS114 in its factory default 
state, your browser will display the NETGEAR Smart Wizard welcome page.

Note: If you do not see this page, type http://www.routerlogin.net in the browser 
address bar and click Enter.
