      Just reboot it until it does. Look how long this thread has been going. Look at how many other threads on the exact same issue have popped up. Netgear doesn't give a **bleep**. Horrible product, 0 support. Okay going to unsubscribe from this now, better luck next time you buy a router everyone.

        Same, I personally won't be buying a netgear or dlink router again, if I hadn't decided to replace my RAX40 with a dream machine pro, I would have just bought a raspberry pi and used pi hole as a router replacement.
