    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.
