    This sounds like a problem I had,  Try this:

    Go to windows control panel and click on ‘Network and sharing centre’ 

     

    Click ‘change adaptor settings’. DoubleClick the ethernet/wifi adaptor and click properties,

     

    highlight Internet protocol version 4(TCP/IPv4) click properties:

     

    Click ‘use the following DNS server address’ and enter dns numbers in the ‘preferred dns server’ and alternative server boxes. 

     

    It seems that Netgear may have somehow screwed up the dns settings as well as removing the remote settings page.

     

    Hope this helps
