    You need to connect it up with an ethernet cable to get there if the wireless isn't working (or use a different pc), or try these, then click wireless.

    http://192.168.0.1
    https://www.routerlogin.com

    Not sure about your V3, but some older models had a daughterboard with a wireless card in, and when it came loose, the router would revert to a non wireless dg834

  • The routerlogin link took me to the Netgear site which I have already contacted for support, they haven't replied and the IP address link came up as " this URL not found on the Netgear site". I'm on the main PC now connected with an ethernet cable. Now I'm really confused!!:o

    Have you tried removing the power on your router for a few minutes. The IP address above should take you to the routers log-in screen.

    routerlogin.com is (or should be if your dns is setup properly ) your router config screen, not the netgear site, if it doesn't work, use the 192.168.0.1 address. if that doesn't work

    start, run, cmd
    ipconfig
    note and use the gateway address in IE, it might be 192.168.1.1

    Interesting, when I click on your https://www.routerlogin.com link above, I get the Netgear site:

    Do you have a netgear router?

    www.routerlogin.net is another alternative. Not sure if all models do the dns trick, but dg834g should.
