Subject: Re: Wireless router help
Obviously the setup is all through the browser for these comments.

The problem is that I can't get through the wizard. You have to get
through the wizard to get to the configuration as I see it.
It detects Internet, it detects DHCP, as it 'saves configuration' it
times out.

192.168.0.1 defaults to www.routerlogin.com
www.routerlogin.net (as it says in their documentation) redirects to
www.routerlogin.com


I can't telnet 192.168.0.1 but I can ping it. Netgear demanded I
register it and I've already spent more time on this than it's worth.
If I can't get this fixed by noon, I have to return it.

Register support is in process.
