Need help installing router with CISCO firewall
Posted on 1/27/16 at 9:47 am
Posted on 1/27/16 at 9:47 am
I have a generic Arris cable modem with a Cisco ASA firewall so I can print from a remote desktop.
The modem is in bridge mode to accept the firewall.
I am trying to install a Netgear wireless router but I have not had any luck.
Both units (not including router I am attempting to integrate)
Back of modem (I took the other end of that ethernet cable out of the firewall and put it in the "internet" slot in the router, then put cord from port 1 in router into firewall)
Back of firewall
(Far right yellow is from modem, next yellow goes to CPU, blue goes to printer, gray is unused)

Has the ASA been configured?

Yes ASA has been up and running for about 2 years. Our ERP system is hosted on a server at our main office in Houston and I access it by remote desktop, ASA is just used to print locally from it.
I dont HAVE to get this router installed, but having wireless access would be nice for the other employees.
*I only work with 2 other employees, my company laid off the IT guy out of Houston, so I am on my own unfortunately.

Plug an ethernet cable from the asa to one of the switch ports on the netgear. Do not put it in the internet port. From there disable dhcp in the netgear and setup the wifi. Shouldn't be too bad.

This is correct. Basically you don't need a router, you need a wireless access point. Doing the steps above will make the netgear an access point.

For some reason I didnt even have to disable DHCP. I connected an ethernet cable into a port on ASA, then into port 1 of Netgear unit and I am able to access wifi internet by my phone.

Listen to this man.

Disabling DHCP is not really ultimately necessary, just makes a cleaner network as the Netgear will NAT all of the wifi to its default network (typically 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.254). However it's likely that your wifi users won't be able to talk to the internal computers. If you don't want that, then great.

So somehow I am posting this from my phone, on the wifi network.
When I tried the laptop, I get this message
Im sure there is a simple fix, and it might have something to do with the DHCP, I just found it odd that I get connection from my phone.
ETA: I moved the ethernet cord to the "internet" port on the router and it let me log in to the setup page. I disconnected the DCHP for good measure and everything is working so far from phone and laptop.
