Have you any idea why an AC2100 would put a title tag in its response
which included _that_ (different) model number? At least one of us
seems to be confused.
If I had multiple Netgear routery devices on my LAN, and I wanted to
deal with a particular one of them, then I might specify its LAN IP
address rather than any "routerlogin" name.

"headers"? (Do I care?)
Never mind I have solved it.
Make the call to the file a second time and it returns the file.
To answer questions:
1. This is wrt readyshare, which is similar on various netgear products but seems to have no documentation about how they work.
2. You might not care, but it is quite often the case that the server will. By providing the same headers as the browser, we eliminate that as an issue.
3. I had forgotten which of my routers was the one with the usb -- and didn't give it a whole lot of attention when filling out the item they asked for -- it is after all, mostly a software issue, not a hardware one.
