So is your netgear router attached to a cable or dsl modem? Could you connect
your box directly to the modem, at least until you get installed?
I don't understand why you used "boot and nuke". When you get to
the partition editor, do you delete all the partitions, then make
one and mark it boot
Your router light turning yellow could be an indication that it has been reset
and has entered an "auto-negotiation" mode where it determines what speed to
configure itself as, i.e., either 10 or 100.
Try waiting until it turns green to proceed with the install, rather than
aborting and restart
