Netgear routers have always been rock-solid for me; I use them for personal applications, and I recommend them to/install them for business clients.
I would recommend this to a friend!

How do i get the blink amber light to stop

my router has a blinking amber light and i followed the instructions in the manual on how to fix the issue, but it continues to happen. The internet will not work and i am not sure what the problem is.
I have a cable connected modem.
If you've followed the manual's instructions to no avail, you might also try a full factory reset of the router. If that doesn't work, I suspect a hardware problem with your router.

I forgot my wifi password. Can i request a password change?

Belkin router- Model F9 K1113b4
There should be functionality to do a password reset via email if you configured it during the router's setup, but you don't have to do that if you have Windows Vista, 7, or 8/8.1 (haven't tried with XP). Google for 'windows vista, 7, 8 find wifi password'. The result from 'howtogeek' will show you. Doing a factory reset of the router will also work, but you'll lose all of your settings.

Is this router faster than linksys wrt54g?.

Currently have 2 iPads, 2 iPhones and generic tablet. Internet speed is much slower than I'm paying for. Will this improve speed?
Not enough info to answer the question. What Internet service do you currently have (cable, DSL, satellite)? Do you have your own router, do you use your provider's equipment, or a combination of the above? Internet providers *always* oversell their bandwidth, which means that Internet speeds will fluctuate at times, which means that you won't always be getting what you're paying for. Is it possible to have a dedicated connection to your house? Sure, but that's not cheap. If you have your own router, what make/model is it? Does your Internet speed seem to fluctuate at certain times of the day?

If all of your devices are online at the same time when you see this drop in speed, it may be that your router can't handle the load.

Can it Port Forward?

I would like to know if this router will allow me to port forward. My router does allow me to as it has a tab called applications and gaming.
I'd be shocked if it didn't. Every router that I've used since the early 2000s has had port forwarding capability.

Do I also need a modem?

We are moving into a housing complex that has free WIFI. The property manager states we just need a router and when we plug that in our internet will bring up a home page asking us to set up an account to the service which will offer faster speed upgrades if we want. Does this sound correct? We are trying to get things lined up right away so it works when we move in.
My answer may not quite fit because your post is a little vague.

Do you mean free *WiFi* or free *Internet*? You wouldn't need your own router if there's free WiFi - all you'd need is the SSID (network name) and passphrase (if any). You'd also possibly be on the same network as everyone else, which isn't a good idea (no privacy, and very little security).

If you mean free *Internet*, it depends on how many devices you have that need Internet access and whether or not they're wired or wireless.

If you have phones, Tablets, gaming consoles, and other wireless devices, you'll need a router.

If you just have desktop/laptop computers that only need a wired connection, you can probably get by with a network switch (5, 8, 16, 24-port, depending on how many devices you have). Hopefully this helps a bit.
