Ok. Hope its working for you.
I would recommend that you change the SSID name to something different and more unique than Netgear92. Thats mostly a default seeing out of the box and Netgear intends for its users to change this name to something else. The default is only an initial setup name and recommends users changing it some thing else.
Also recommend making a backup configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
