The heart drops, the stomach flutters, and the spirit sinks as one realizes that all of the devices in their home have been left high and dry from the wonders of the 'net. Never fear, though--there are several steps that one can take to troubleshoot this home network issue. Several factors could be influencing why the network went down, and often a simple procedure is all it takes to get things back up and running. Do You Know How To Log In to Your Router? Before you can do much in the way of troubleshooting, one needs to know how to log into the router itself. Usually, this can be done by navigating to http://192.168.1.1 in your browser window (this is the IP address of the router, it can be thought of as its location on your network.) From there, a username and password is required. It's often "root/admin" or "admin/password" depending on the make and model of the router, but if it was changed when it was first set up, the new password will be needed.

In a nutshell, NETGEAR Genie allows you to manage a variety of settings for your router directly from your desktop, without having to log in to a browser window, making it easy to tweak settings on the fly. We cover the NETGEAR Genie in our WNDR3800 review and also demo it in our video . NETGEAR is now taking the convenience factor a step further and has bestowed upon us a mobile app, available for lovers of both Apple and Android . I took the app for a spin on my Samsung Galaxy SII to see what it's capable of. Main Splash Screen Once the app is installed, a login is required, just as if the router was being logged in to. Once the login is completed, the user has access to all the main features of the app through a colorful and straightforward interface.

CES. The mecca of gadget geeks, networking aficionados and technology freaks worldwide. Every year, NETGEAR announces exciting new products in the networking field, and 2012 is no exception. This time, though, it's a bit bigger than a new router or extender--it's a promising new ecosystem of cloud applications called the "Smart Network." Reading through the press release (included below) we're super excited about the possibilities--especially for the programming crowd here at MyOpenRouter. ANYBODY can program for the Smart Network Application Cloud, it seems, making it an "App Store" of sorts for your network connected devices. We'll be sure to report more when we get a chance to check out some of the features of Smart Network, but for now, you can sate your appetite with the press release below and NETGEAR's official information page . *** LAS VEGAS, Nev. – January 9, 2012 — NETGEAR ® , Inc.

The hypothetical GT Turbo, all chromed out model of virtually any product you buy, because nothing less will do? Then the WNDR4500 is probably a good choice, being that it's being heralded as one of the fastest consumer routers available. Indeed, Maximum PC declares it "the fastest router we've ever tested." However, does it live up to the hype? Is it really worth it? My answer is definitely yes for those demanding the ultimate in speed, and a "maybe" for average use, depending on the individual setup. Setting up the WNDR4500 As with many of the newer NETGEAR routers, I found the setup of this router to be extremely easy. It's designed to be set up vertically, and is certainly a beefy router in terms of size. It feels pretty solid, especially compared to earlier products such as the WNR3500L. NETGEAR gives you a "standard" Wi-Fi hotspot and password that can be used for the initial setup, and the Genie software makes it simple to navigate through the basic settings.
