This is the most flakiest POS I have ever see. Eventually I got so pissed at it that I calmly unplugged it from the USB port and forcefully wiped it across the room at a high velocity rate into the wall but it still worked after this and denied me the satisfaction I was looking for, thus I have blacklisted netgear. Here is a tip for any company in the networking bizz, NEVER PISS A SYSADMIN OFF!!!! I wish you all the luck in the world, and some anger management classes because after this your going to need it.
