Ok, you could also look at flashing the firmware on the router,
http://kbserver.netgear.com/release_notes/d102798.asp here are the instructions and I have zipped the firmware and attached
WARNING: Follow the instructions VERY carefully, Do not attempt to flash the firmware of your router using a wireless connection !!!!

Perform a hard reset on the router.

To flash the router
disconnect the router from the cable modem, connect ONLY the PC you are going to use to flash the router via a network cable
Not sure I can understand how you have connected however this is how it should be
Connection from modem to routers wan port
If using wired connection from one of the four port switches to the network card on the PC
Wirless..... etc etc

to flash the router do the following
1) Power off the router
2) Disconnect the cable modem from the router
3) The PC that you are going to flash the router MUST be connected via a network lead to the back of the four port switch on the router NOT the WAN port
4) Power on the router
Wait for the router to become ready and then perform the flash
To use in normal operation
1) Power of the cable modem and router
2) Power off the router
3) Connect the cable modem to the WAN port on the router using a network cable
4) If you are using a network cable to connect the PC to the router connect it now
5) Power on the cable modem, wait for it to become ready
6) Power on the router, wait for it to become ready
7) Test
