return the Netgear for a replacement, had a problem like that with a Linksys naman (pero that one, kahit LAN cable ayaw). The replacement worked wonderfully (well except for the disconnecting issue whenever it's hot).

Can you access its interface via web browser?


Haven't had a netgear before so let's wait for others, baka may iba pang solution pero i think it's pretty standard for all ata.
