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 ;)

That's a little overboard, isn't it? :smileysurprised: Or am I really out of the loop on how badly I messed up here?

You're in luck the manual has 103 pages.

New C3000's go for $99 at most big box stores. Like I said earlier the manual is a joke is has Zero information on what a solid red or amber power led means.
Users cannot update the firmware even if you could locate a update. The tech was talking out of his usb port (a$$)
These are junk, very little range, I know, I bought one for my Son In Law last year.
