I was mining with two antminers fine for about six months and turned them off in the summer.  I wanted to upgrade my router firmware and the process failed on me.  Netgear wants a huge amount of money for customer support, the router is less than a year old, and I did nothing wrong.  They have a bad reputation now for this practice.  

Comcast was giving out the IP address of 10.0.0.1 which didn't work with the old Antminer style, which is why I had to buy the router.  

To make things worse, I was assigned a dynamically changing IP address which I just had them change it to a static one (a 7*.# one).  I turned on an Antminer and the power is there but it's not engaging and I can't reach it through a browser.

Any suggestions?   Is there a way of going around netgear support and making the router work again?
