How do I Troubleshoot Free Wireless Netgear?

Troubleshooting your wireless router.

A Netgear wireless router can attach several computer-based devices to your home Internet connection. This allows multiple users and devices to access an Internet connection via your router. If you are finding that your Netgear wireless router is being inhospitable to these devices and is denying access to your Internet connection, then performing a simple reset on your wireless router will troubleshoot any problems.

Instructions

1. Locate the recessed button marked "reset" on the back of your wireless router.

2. Use a paper clip or an object with a fine enough point to press down and hold the reset button.

3. Hold the reset button down until the test light on the front of the router begins to blink. This will take about 10 seconds.

4. Release the button and wait for the Netgear router to fully reboot.

5. Download and install the latest drivers for your Netgear Wireless router. Visit the Netgear Support link labeled "Products" in this article's Reference section, and select your wireless router from the product list to obtain the latest drivers.
