  • You could simply try pushing and holding the reset button for 7-15 seconds while its powered on. 

    then you'll be able to reinstall it. 

    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.

      I know it was a  silly question.   

       

      I may call another authority and inquire :

       

      We have a BnB within our home and want guest totally separate from the wife and I private setup.

      ( SEPARATE PW's )

       

      Plus 

      I have WYZE security and the cams only run on 2.4 gig

       

      But 

      We want to surf and use the  5 gig for our needs.

       

      Would you have a very brief suggestion ??

      • You own some Netgear equipment that you want to set up?

         

        What is it?

         

        Follow the device from plemans and read the manuals.

         

        Start with the basics and then move on to solving your problem.
