  • Which WiFi router/ AP model are you using?

     

    Also for support who did you call?

     

     

     

  • Agree with Razor512 who did you call for support or how did you get the number? 

    Many people google for a number and get scam/con sites. to contact support you click on "mynetgear" at the top, register an account, and then from there contact support. For those who do purchase a support option, netgear uses gearhead for support.

    Makes me leary whenever someone takes remote control of a device. 

     

    What actual router do you have?

    Firmware on it? 

    What is the 2.4ghz led showing on the router? (on/off/, color, blinking, etc)
