    Which NG product are you referring too? 

     

    Try a factory reset on the unit and setup from scratch using a wired PC and web browser if this is a NG wifi router.

      Thanks for the help. wounded up buying a new router because while downloading the latest firware my phone somehow lost connection with it and corrupted the file. got on the horn with support and spend quite some time trying everything to revive it but couldn't. my new one works excellent though.

    what are the led's on the unit doing? (all of them)

     

    There's a support site with access to manuals, firmware, install guides, etc.
    Go to https://www.netgear.com/support/
    Type in your model number and from there it'll take you to the above.
    Its a great resource to start with.

        Would have been nice to know what router model you were referring too.

         

        Good luck then.
