Let me know what country you're in and the model number - and I may have the driver. I'm in the UK and the firmware is specific to the UK. Netgear are a waste of space. But the driver is on their "portal" (website) somewhere. It's just finding stuff on that site that can be a problem. Click my picture for my profile - that gives you a link to my website and there is an email button on my website. Long way around - but I can't "spam" my website - too much competition for Yahoo! LOL

Normally you shouldn't need any special drivers for a Netgear Router to work.
I doubt going to Web Sites that offer drivers would be any help.
What problems are you expieriancing. If it worked before than it will work again, Simply do a complete system reset.
1st and formost do not change any settings.
Turn off your computer.
Pull the power adapter from both your Internet Service Providers MODEM. and your Netgear ROUTER.
Wait at least 5 minutes.
Now in this exact order.
Plug in your ISP's MODEM, and you must wait a minimum of 1 minute.
2nd Plug in your Netgear ROUTER, and again you must wait 1 minute.
Now you can restart your computer. and after it boots up completely click on your Browser Icon and you should be good.
If by chance this doesn't fix your problem there are so many settings that can be changed and you might have done just that.
Type in 192.168.1.1 in your browser window. this is the default address that will connect you to any routers utilities to make changes.
I strongly suggest you fint the small yellow card that cme with your Netgear Router, this gives you all of the different set up options.
I would probably connect with an ethernet cable and click on your browser and enter .

Click OK and follow the instructions and use the SMART WIZARD AND CONFIQURE THE ROUTER.

Go the web and have someone down load the driver and put it on a cd. then bring it home and install it.
