Hey searay,
I'll have to say that I agree... although I had high hopes for a 100 page manual.
I bought this item refurbished off ebay, and I have contacted the seller.
I called NetGear tech support this morning. The guy told me to update the firmware from NetGear's page (which I am unsure if I will be able to do seeing as how I cannot connect to the internet), or I could have one of their techs do it for me for a price. Which I cannot even image what that will cost me.
I just don't want to pay Time Warner Cable that extra $10 a month anymore! This is what I get for being cheap, I suppose ;)
