Forgot a security question while accessing my router R7800
Hi, recently I bought a Netgear router R7800 X4S AC2600. Updated firmware today to the most recent. 11/7/17
The long story short: out of three computers in my house only my main PC has slow connection. The rest of two: mac and surface have blazing fast wireless internet connection. So, I need help of figuring out what is going on.
The secong issue is that in order to acces my router I need a password. I forgot my SQ. So I am stuck in this.
Nither you tube or other help pages from Netgear, nothig says particularly about this specific issue. What to do if you forget your security question?

There is a manual for the R7800 somewhere at the end of this link::
