similar problem
Our Centurylink "2-Wire" modem/wifi router died. Hooked up an older modem and our Netgear wifi router. Didn't want to lease a new Centurylink router/modem - I know we had the Netgear router in Ohio, can't remember where the modem came from.
Anyway, it works with our computer, although sometimes we have to turn the on/off switch on the power strip. Not all the time, and not every day, but sometimes 2 or 3 times a day. Doesn't go out while using the computer, only if it's been asleep or off for awhile.
Can't get it to work with my Nook at all, even though it says there's a good signal. Won't connect.
When you say "manually set," what do you mean? Do you mean find it on your computer once it's plugged into your computer? I don't see anything to manually set on the Netgear or modem themselves.
