So "Crapped out" doesn't give us much to go on.
We need more details and help to see if we can help you get the router going or find out whats causing problems.
What router model do you have?
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.
There's a support site with access to manuals, firmware, install guides, etc.
Go to https://www.netgear.com/support/
Type in your model number and from there it'll take you to the above.
Its a great resource to start with.
Let's begin by posting in the right section of the forum.
