Trying to upgrade my netgear routers firmware and trying to follow these instructions (From netgear)
Open a browser and access the router using http://www.routerlogin.net
Log in to the router. The User Name = admin. The Password = password unless you changed it.
Click Maintenance > Router Upgrade
Click Browse and find the upgrade file you just downloaded.
Click Upload
Do NOT power off the computer until the upgrade process is completed. Wait for the router to reboot.
After the router boots up, log in the router again.
You MUST Reset the router to default settings after upgrading the firmware
Click Maintenance > Backup Settings
Click Erase. The router reboots when the Erase operation is done.
If you would like to check that the upgrade was successful, log in to the router again at http://192.168.1.1, and check the firmware version.
Re-configure the router with the settings you saved in step 1. Optionally, You can use the Smart Wizard configuration assistant on the CD to reconfigure the router.
but it wont even let me go to http://www.routerlogin.net. Itjustcomes up withthe netgear support page.
Also trying to sortthe security it doesnt come up with anything when i put in the ip address of the router.
Can anyone help?
