To erase the configuration, click the Erase button.
To restore the factory default configuration settings without knowing the login password or IP
address, you must use the Default Reset button on the rear panel of the firewall. See
“Using the
Default Reset button“ on page 10-8

Router Upgrade
The software of the FR114P 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 sending it to the firewall. The upgrade file can be sent to the firewall using your browser.
Note:
The Web browser used to upload new firmware into the firewall must support HTTP
uploads. NETGEAR recommends using Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or
above.
From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under the Maintenance heading, select the Router
Upgrade heading to display the menu shown in
Figure 8-6

Note:
When uploading software to the firewall, it is important not to interrupt the Web
browser by closing the window, clicking a link, or loading a new page. If the browser is
interrupted, it may corrupt the software. When the upload is complete, your firewall will
automatically restart. The upgrade process will typically take about one minute.

Advanced Configuration
This chapter describes how to configure the advanced features of your FR114P, FR114W and
FM114P Cable/DSL ProSafe Firewalls. These features can be found under the Advanced heading
in the Main Menu of the browser interface.
Dynamic DNS
If your network has a permanently assigned IP address, you can register a domain name and have
that name linked with your IP address by public Domain Name Servers (DNS). However, if your
Internet account uses a dynamically assigned IP address, you will not know in advance what your
IP address will be, and the address can change frequently. In this case, you can use a commercial
dynamic DNS service, who will allow you to register your domain to their IP address, and will
forward traffic directed at your domain to your frequently-changing IP address.
The firewall contains a client that can connect to a dynamic DNS service provider. To use this
feature, you must select a service provider and obtain an account with them. After you have
configured your account information in the firewall, whenever your ISP-assigned IP address
changes, your firewall will automatically contact your dynamic DNS service provider, log in to
your account, and register your new IP address.
