    We have answers to this question. (See above.) Perhaps they aren't the answers you want. Sorry about that.

     

    Let's put these answers another way:

     

    Netgear does not provide downloads of installations CDs.

     

    Would a simple No have been better?

     

    If you read the manual for this device, you will see that:


    Your product package should contain the following items:

     

    It then says:

    The Resource CD, which includes:
    • The Smart Wizard Installation Assistant (Autorun.exe)
    • A PDF version of this manual
    • A link to the online User Manual

    We have explained how you can get these essentials. Feel free to burn your own CD.

     

    If you really want this CD, Netgear offers paid for support contracts that might deliver what you want. A new router might be cheaper.

     

    By the way, the "sigh" was because the latest message just repeated my own reply. Then again, perhaps two answers saying the same thing tell you something.

     

    If you don't want people to answer your question, why are you here?

     

    Let's leave it to others to decide whose time is being wasted.
