I received an email about a security download. I cannot login to "routerlogin.net" . I get a message stating I am not connected to my router's WiFi network. I cleared the Google browser...rebooted the router...and we have internet connection with all our devices. So how am I supposed to download the security update?

Netgear broadcasts such notices to all known users. I wouldn't bet that newer firmware is available for your (unspecified) "my router", but it's worth a look.

Welcome to what may be the worst error message in the world. For an explanation, try:
Briefly, the idea is that "[www.]routerlogin.net" (or ".com") should point to your own router, but that's true only if you use your own router for DNS name resolution. Regardless, you should be able to get to the thing using its IP address, if you can determine (or guess) that. Normally, that would be something like "192.168.0.1" or "192.168.1.1", but it could be different.
It would also depend on what your (unspecified) "my router" is.

Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look for Downloads. Under Firmware and Software Downloads, find the kit(s). Download the kit you want. Read the "Release Notes" file for instructions.
