DaneA  Trouble is Netgear does point at various parts to the obsolete, End-of-life, no longer supported, .... ProSafe Plus Configuration Utility which badly fails on people using current networking tools like Wireshark and the ubiquitous _current_ libpacp implementation of Npcap - which makes WinPcap obsolete as well ... Needless to say, even with Npcap installed in compatibility mode, we can't get the ProSafe Plus Configuration Utility work.

 

Last but not least, Netgear does leave alone all the MacOS- and Linux-only users - of course, too.
