I just bought a referbished router Netgear WGR614v6 it came with no istall disk and can not find one on Netgears website. When i hook it up all the lights make it appear to be working but not able to log on to the router. Computer is laptop Compaq running Win98.

Is it Win98 or Win98SE?

And how are you connected to the router? Via ethernet Cable?

Win 98
I am trying through ethernet cable first before I go wireless

Have you looked around on other sites for drivers?

On a side note here. When you do go wireless be sure that any wireless adapter you buy says on the package that it will work with Windows 98. There is little to no wireless support built into Windows 98 so all the wireless will be done by software that comes with the adapter. By getting on that says on the package that it will work with 98 if you run into trouble you can always take it back pointing out that the package says it should work but it doesn't. I'm not saying 98 won't do wireless but it might be tricky to setup.
