Hi Friedbones,

I see where someone else has been experiencing the exact same problem I have trying to update the Netgear Firmware. It would be nice to have a Netgear IT specialist get involved to help us fix this problem. When passwords are not accepted even after resetting....Netgear has a problem.
Because of this issue, you can bet I will NOT purchase any more Netgear products....and I shall happily advertise such to everyone who I speak with regarding the Netgear product failures.
