upgrade n900
I read that I am supposed to reset my router an check for upgrades. Now that I have spent over 30 minutes trying to figure out how...is there anyone out there that can provide SIMPLE CLEAR clear inst...
Yes just disconnect from power and back on was all that they were asking people to do. By the way, I didn't see the n900 routers on the list of routers that were supposedly affected but always good to make sure by power cycling it in case.

N900 is a speed, not a model number. Ever helpful, Netgear product
packaging emphasizes speeds like "Nxxx", but that's not the model
identifier. Look at the product label.

You read everything in these forums? I doubt it.
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number,
and look for Documentation. Get the User Manual, and look for
"firmware" and/or "Upgrade the Router Firmware". While you're in that
neighborhood, under Downloads, various firmware kits are also available.

I've seen no evidence that He participates (directly) in these
forums. What was so difficult (compared with, say, finding your
router's model number)?
Easy way to check for new firmware upgrades is to go to the www.netgear.com website. Then clikc on support and put your model number and it will list downloads for firmware. You just need to apply them to your router. You should just download the manual if it's too hard for you which is also available in that support page for your router.
