Be warned, that link looks like one of those fake Netgear sites. At least it doesnt have the logos, but it smells funny.

 

The first warning sign is the Helpline phone number. Netgear does not post contact numbers.

 

The writing of that page is also suspiciously clumsy. Just read the first sentence on the strange home page.

 

I don't expect literary masterpieces from Netgear, but that reads like English as foreign language.

That's good news. Confirms my suspicions.

 

There is nothing on that link that you cannot find if you go to the official Netgear support pages and KnowledgeBase.
