Well, its not the browser. I have been playing with this thing since yesterday. I finally reset all the options and started over again. I used the manual (which I didn't get with the router) and did the best I could. Its working now, but I really don't know what I did. I just faked it when I didn't know informtion like MAC number. Had no idea where to find it, so I just made one up, and it seems to work?? I just love Netgear products. In reading the manual I downloaded from the internet, I discovered there was supposed to be a CD or DVD with it, but I didn't get that either. And with Netgear's window to provide free assistance of 90 days, I think that really sucks!! If I ever need another one, I'm going to get one from a company that will stand behind their product and provide free assistance when someone, who is in a predicament like me, needs it. Since my PC was corrupted, I had to do a complete reinstall of everything and so whatever was there that might affect the router went too. Anyway, its working now, no thanks to Netgear.
