Boom Firewall/Netgear RT314

I have a Netgear gateway router RT314, working great, but I don't know how to set up the firewall. (NAT firewall protection). I have rr cable and two PC's hooked up.

I've never used the netgear, but if it's anything like the Linksys, your cable modem settings are installed on the router and your machines are using DHCP or assigned IP's like 192.168.xxx.xxx. If that is the case, you're done, the firewall protection is automatic as this is your NAT. The router translates from your cable IP to the assigned IP's of your computers.
