Is that a letter "O", or a digit "0"? (Allowing both in a serial
number would be a pretty foolish thing for Netgear to do.)

OMG....can I be that tired that I did a O instead of a 0? Just saw that I typed that mistake. Back to the drawing board?

I don't know. Now that we've largely left typewriters behind, you
can't use "l" for "1", either, but computer keyboards tend to have both.
It's a brave, new world. - tipisMar 04, 2018Aspirant
wELL, TIE ME TO A RAILROAD TRACK....you hit the nail on the head....but now, when I regesiter the number...I get this "This Serial number has already been registered in our system by a support representative." So, someone is helping me at Netgear or I have really screwed the pooch here. But I have a number or I don't.....Confused!?????? Cannot register or it was done? Please someone let me know....I have been at this for 6 hours.

This comes up repeatedly in these forums. I don't know the cause,

Just went back and search my profile and see that someone at Netgear has registered by wireless for me with the correct number 0. Thank you. This 70 year old bat...who started out with cards and computors as big as a football stadium....thanks the gosts in the network and all those who chimed in here. Now to see about rejoining the wireless work of Alexa and my door bell working again. Wish my life was wireless at times......;-)
