OK, so i've searched previous posts but not been able to find the specific information that i need. so, i bought the WN3000RP today and went ahead with manual setup. I followed the five steps and ...
Thanks for your response...
but could you be more specific, and tell me exactly how to do it on my windows7 computer?

After you reset the netgear and start fresh on the same computer the setup fails even at connecting to the extender and you cant acsess even the setup wizard. The only way that I was able to get that far again after the first try was by trying it from the Mac laptop. I could possibly try it from the old windows vista computer to get a fresh start.
So, what do you think about tech support's oppinion that the extender had been damaged by trying to do firmware updates? Do I really have to replace the device? Don't feel much like driving back to best buy...
Thanks again
