I had this same problem. The reason I was getting kicked out of setup was my cable modem/router was reassigning my Netgear extender a new IP address during setup. Since I was accessing my extender through its default IP address ,(In my case, 192.168.1.250) once my cable router gave my extender a new IP address, I was given the 404 error or a timed out error. [Fiddler] The socket connection to 192.168.1.250 failed.

I went into my cable router, using my browser, and saw what addresses it was giving to my connected devices and simply guessed as to what the new address would be. My (Comcast) cable router IP address is 10.0.0.1. It gave my extender the IP address of 10.0.0.2. Once I guessed this and entered that address into my browser, I connected to my now setup router and all was wel.

Hello Bandito
What firmware version did you have on the extender before upgrading and what version were you trying to upgrade to?

It started out at 1.0.0.16 and it was the latest upgrade, 10.0.0.28 that got the 404 error at the end of the process.
It works just fine, but it's a bit disconcerting to get an error like that when it's finalizing everything.
