Hi Fordem,
I was all set for testing but on Friday the power supply company had to shut us down while they changed a transformer and our systems did not come back up as they should.
In short the M4100 is now inaccessible. You will recall I had set a static IP for management but this could not be accessed, neither could the original default IP using a laptop directly connected.
In the end I did a factory reset with nothing connected. That should have enabled DHCP. I connected to DHCP server but no handshake took place.
Using USB port and Hyperterminal from XP laptop I could get in and run ezconfig but nothing could be saved consistently. I tried several factory resets and setting various Static IPs and enabling DHCP but still nothing.
Strangely the command set for the ezconfig is not all working. For example "show ip" gave me no result. "show network" did give me a result including the admin IP but this did not work. I may try CLI but meanwhile I am going to see if Netgear will stand by their lifetime guarantee and swap out the box.
Will get back to you when I have replacement hardware.
If you have any ideas on reading the above please let me know.
Regards,
Budgie
