Lost installation CD

I purchased the above router many years ago, and just recently decided to try using it again. The only problem is i cannot find my resource cd, and cant set up the router. Is there a link to the relevant router software? Thanks

  • Routers don't really need installation CDs. You can configure them with a web browser. Go to support.netgear.com and type in the model number. You can download the online manual which will contain instructions on setting up your router.

      Downloaded the manual, but it says i need to set up using the set-up wizard (which if i recall, was on the resource cd)

        You haven't said which device you are using – I see no "above router" – but most manuals will tell you how to do a manual setup.

         

        The quick start/installation guides are less helpful on that front.

         

        For more advice, tell us the model number on your device.
