Connect and Configure Other Computers

(optional)

Now that you have one computer set up to access the Internet through the gateway, you can

connect other computers so they can share access.

1. For each computer, connect a Category 5 Ethernet cable between it and one of the

remaining numbered Ethernet ports on the gateway.

2. Check to make sure that the associated port number light is lit. The light flashes when

data is being transferred over the connection.

Note: If the numbered light isn’t lit, go to Troubleshooting on page 11.

3. Go back to Installation Step 3 (pages 6 and 7) and go through the sequence of steps

applicable for each computer.

4. Restart each computer.

5. Test each computer’s connection by going to NETGEAR’s Web site

(www.NETGEAR.com) from each computer.

Note: If you have more than 4 computers to connect to this gateway, you must

connect them to a hub or switch (such as the NETGEAR 5-port or 8-port Fast

Ethernet Switch) and then connect the hub or switch to the gateway. By using hubs

or switches, you may connect up to 253 computers to the gateway.
