Thank you! I see I can download the Netgear app from there - it wasn't on the App Store. Still, this tells had to use the app but it means i must be connected to the internet first. OR it says use chrome etc, but again ... I must be connected to the internet and I can't do that if my wi-fi isn't working so I can't connect to the router.
I swear - I feel so utterly stupid. I feel like I'm being told to buy a horse to pull my cart and use that horse to go into town to buy the horse. I HAVE NO HORSE.
I'm looking now for an adapter to buy which hopefully allows a ethernet cable from the router to my laptop. I refuse to buy a smart phone. I'm 78 years old and on social security and can't afford medicine much less buy a smart phone.
I shall go read all the links you've provided. Thank you so very much for taking your time to provide them to me. :-). This world of tech feels like walking around totally blind. Remember, I was raised when the newest contraption was the princess phone, LOL. Have a wonderful week!
