authentication required message
my netgear E 2700 worked great for 2 months, now when I try to get on the internet, I get a message that "authentication required" and have to put in a user name and password, which I don't know. It never did this before. Can someone help?

Hi @rspema,
If you haven't already, please try factory resetting the EX2700.

You can also downgrade to previous firmware to check if it is an issue with the most current firmware:
Download the previous version here: http://downloadcenter.netgear.com/en/product/EX2700#searchResults
Connect your computer to the EX2700 via ethernet.
Then unzip the .img file and upload the .img from your computer to the Firmware Update page on mywifiext.net
