    What is Netgear42? SSID? 

    Not much to go on here. 

    There a Netgear model# by chance?

    In addition to the questions from FURRYe38, connect what?

     

    Connect how?

     

    What happens when you try?

     

    Manuals are always a good place to start.

    Visit the support pages:

    Support | NETGEAR

    Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.

    Look for the model number on the label on the device.

    Check the section in the manual on troubleshooting.

    You may have done that already. I can't tell from your message.

    I mention it because Netgear gave up on supplying paper manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
