A6210 Software installation

Good Day

 

1. How much space (Bytes) does the software for this device require to be installed?

 

2. Must it be installed on the C:\ Drive, or can it be installed on another logical drive on the hard disc?

 

Thanks in advance.

  • For future users, the answers to my queations ( which I established myself through trial & error) are:

     

    1. Netgear requires 16.6 MB (17 469 440 bytes) on the hard drive.

     

    2. Netgear does not give the option to be installed on any but the C:\ Drive.  It can be installed on another logical drive by moving all the files to that drive, then editing the registry - NOT for the faint-hearted.

     

    Regards,

  • Answer 1: If it run out of space, it'll tell.

    Answer 2: Any where you want.

    Just don't plug it in until asked by the install. wizard.

    Good luck.

      Thanks VE6CGX.  I don't have a lot of space left on my C:\ Drive, that's why I asked how many bytes the installation uses.

        Hi aitchie,

         

        I think it is the same MB as the driver. 40-50Mbps will do.
