Good to see I'm not the only person having problems with Netgear equipment. I used to use Netgear for my ISDN dial-up accounts a few years back. Still have the ISDN routers, if anyone's interested. J

First question is if it's a Netgear. So far I'm batting 1000. Tell them to take it back and get a linksys/cisco branded one. _____ From: Cameron [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, May 10, 2010 9:20 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Wireless Routers Silly question, but did you try resetting the original one back to factory specs?

I never succeeded and I was also unable to get my Dell laptop to talk to their wireless router. After fussing with it for over 2 hours, I went to Walmart and bought a WRT54GS2 Linksys wireless (same exact model I have at home) and hooked it up. Instant success. Long story short - if I ever have a job where I can't get the wireless to connect, and the user has a Netgear wireless router, I'm not even going to spend time on it, I'll just tell the client I'm going to go buy a different router that *will* work and get another Linksys. Just thought I'd pass this along for anyone who's looking for a new wireless router.
