In that case, visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model
number, and look for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Look for

I would've never thought of that, thanks. I followed you directions and downloaded the previous firmware 1.0.4.28 on to my PC. I'll upload the firmware and see if the problem goes away. I'll give an update in 2-3 days.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
