I have set-up numerous home networks (even including manual set-ups). I was simply replacing an older Netgear 802.11b/g device with a device that supported 802.11n, so a new Windows 7 machine would work properly on the network. I set up the router as indicated by the cards attached to cables and the envelope the CD was contained in. I ran the CD and thought I had finished the install. However, when I clicked on a selection from the icon in the system tray, nothing happened. It would not open the router settings, open the manual, etc. I opened the manual via the CD only to find out the amber light on the router meant it could not communicate with my modem and that the router setup did not finish at the end of the install. I uninstalled and reinstalled the software (still same issues as above). I tried a series of different cables and resetting each device, but nothing seemed to fix the communication problem between the modem and the router. After about two hours, I decided to contact Technical Support. But, all of the support contacts in the manual are web addresses apart from an 800 number for Singapore. A lot of good a web address is if you cannot connect to the internet! Returning the device to Staples to purchase a brand I know is reliable!
