Title: Netgear DG824M Installation CD
Post by: DJ on August 26, 2006, 16:01

Hi All,

I have decieded to reinstall windows on my PC, but before I do so I have checked that I'll have all the installation CD's needed after I do.

One I have missing is the installation CD for my Netgear DG824M wirelss router and modem (quite a critical one). I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Does anyone know of a site where I can download the files needed for installation.

Cheers

DJ

Thanks for that.

I'm now thinking that I don't need a CD. Just connect it, use DHCP and type in the IP address.

Hope that'll work - there's no going back now!

You dont need to touch the router DJ, unless it has a print server part.

The router is independant of the pc/s that it is attached to and all the information regarding your internet connection will still be in it unless you reset it  :)

Thanks for that Sandra.  You were (of course!) correct.  I didn't need to touch the router.

The PC is now back up and running much much faster after its Bank Holiday clear out.
