Already Tried:
everything I was instructed in the CD and the online setup that went step-by-step. I then called the "Geek Squad" to no avail.

Hey cat!

 

 

Do you get high speed through the cable company? Or is it through the phone line/phone company.. DSL?

Customer replied 1214 days and 23 hours ago.

For DSL you'll need to configure that router with a login do you know your username and password XXXXX your DSL service?

Customer replied 1214 days and 23 hours ago.

no...I have my IPS config. # is that the same?

I would call your provider and make sure you have the correct login for your DSL first before proceeding. Here are the directions.

 

 

 

 

Reset the router first, this is done by pressing and holding the reset button on the side of the unit for about ten seconds with the power ON. Then take your finger off the reset button and pull the power cord from the unit.

 

Make sure the cables are connected correctly. The network cable from the dsl modem plugs directly into the back of the netgear where it says WAN or INTERNET. Plug a computer into the netgear as well into 1 2 3 4 etc, pick one.

 

Then.. power modem and router off by pulling the power cord, wait about a minute.

Then... turn on the dsl modem, wait 30 seconds, turn on the netgear wait 30 seconds.

 

Now to setup DSL.

 

From the computer go to

http://www.routerlogin.net

Username is admin

Password XXXXX password

 

You are now in the netgear setup

 

From the main menu click setup wizard. (This is the equivalent of using the CD) Be sure you choose that your internet REQUIRES a login when prompted. Enjoy!

This has still not helped with my situation so how do I withdraw my $$$? I think I will just return the router and stay wired...a lot less hassle!!
