You need to reset the unit & remove the Firmware
and reinstall due to a Firmware corruption.
This is what you'll have to do....
Hardware reset: Push the reset button on the
back for 15 seconds.
Software reset:
1. Type 192.168.0.231 in a Web
browser.
2. Click on Backup Settings.
3. In the Revert to Factory
Default Settings click Erase.
IMPORTANT! Do not try to go online, turn
off the access point, shutdown the computer or do
anything else to the access point until it
finishes restarting! When the Test light (looks like
a check mark) stops blinking, wait a few more
seconds before doing anything with the access
point.
Then go through the setup wizard again then
download the latest firmware here http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/WPN824v2.asp
