Downloading a driver ...
I'd like to download something from NETGEAR - a driver. I'm having issues with this. AFAICS there is no area on this forum for this kind of issue and as it's a wireless SOHO device it can go here ...
If I ignore the above and go here ...
... I can end up here:
Pressing the "Click here to download" button sends me here ...
... where stupidity ensues.
That page loads over and over and over ...
About once every few seconds and apparently without cessation.
In the screen, the menu at the top left is from the "Back" button ...
It only displays so many but if I let it sit there it goes on and on and on ...
If I stop the page with the browser control I get enough time to click things.
Clicking the "X" causes the page to load again and then off it goes again ...
Presumably that's what it's for, to kill the Javascript or whatever it is ...
... if that is its purpose ... it's broken.
There's also some text "Continue without registering" with a hyperlink.
This seems even more à propos but ultimately doesn't help:
That's a screen from Firefox and I suspect it's a "friendly" 404 message provided by Mozilla.
Certainly with Internet Explorer there's no source but the usefulness is the same - nil.
If someone could provide a URI to the download I'm after or similar and I'll extrapolate the rest that would be wonderful.
If someone could point me to some resources on the Netgear web site where this behaviour is documented that would be great.
Best wishes.
