Yeah, well that's exceedingly crude, and considering the number of screens that would entail to get a FULL listing of the router's configuration, exceedingly inefficient.

(or save up enough to eventually buy a decent-model Linksys or Buffalo, and turn this Netgear into nothing more than an access point).

Sounds like a plan!
