Not a model number. Look for "Model" on the product label or
package.

It's a router. It needs some kind of connection to an Internet
service provider (ISP). That typically involves some kind of modem or
optical network terminal (ONT). A firewall is a different type of
gizmo. A router has some firewall-like capabilities, itself.
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in some actual router model
number, and look for Documentation. Get some. Read?
