Hi,

 

No success with the 30-30-30 reset. 

 

I tried reinstalling the firmware as per the advice on the Netgear site, however that didn't work - there was never a point at which the power light was flashing - I tried the upload just after restarting, but it wouldn't install.

 

I do plan to try it again, maybe I'll have better luck next time

 

Thanks for all the help.
