WNDR4300V2 Genie Basic page not showing any windows
XFINITY service, Netgear CM500V personal cable modem, WNDR4300V2 router. I'm replacing a Netgear AC1600 R6260 router with the WNDR4300V2 router. The R6260 had a LAN port go bad. The WNDR4300V2 was th...

Why is that a problem? On my D7000[v1] (V1.0.1.74_1.0.1) it's
"Reboot", but it's there. Who/what does _not_ have one?
