I Chris, My problem is with the second part of the Windows instructions. I can forget the initial telnet stuff and instead use Safari to logon to my Netgear router in debug mode with no problem. My problem is with....
"Now you can see " Debug enable" (which I can indeed see), then go to Start - Run and write telnet 192.168.0.1 >> a DOS window will be open, and after the sign #, type this value: wlctl bi 50" Presumably I need the Mac equivalent of the telnet stuff to do that and the Mac equivalent of the DOS window to enter the command to be executed by the Netgear router. Or maybe it is not possible to do this on a Mac???? Many thanks.
