Thanks DaneA but it's not a Windows issue it's a new netgear product configuration issue.
The documentation isn't great.
A phone support call solved it. The solution is removing "netgear.com"

Network Configuration > Lan Setup > Edit VLAN Profile > Delete "netgear.com"

Hi nousndthem,
Thank you for your response and posting the solution.
I am glad that you have contacted Netgear Support and the problem is now resolved. :smileyhappy:
