Perhaps try 192.168.0.10 instead of 192.168.0.1

Your default gateway is the op address you use to login to your router which is typically 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 or 10.0.0.2 Subnet mask must be 255.255.255.255 and not the standard 255.255.255.0 I think the Netgear also has another setting when you inputting the static route. Try toggling that setting too.

Just posting this on the off chance you haven't read this guide already. http://help.unotelly.com/support/articles/165903-setup-static-routes-on-netgear-routers
An update.
If you look at my previous posts regarding issues with setting the router you can see I've some issues.
Well this morning I tried changing my router settings via my Ipad.
So maybe if your having issues setting the router, use a different device to change them on.
Voila, everything changes and now I have Netflix and others.
Now I'm really confused to why my laptop cannot be used to change my router settings?

Just out of interest, did you use the netgear genie app on your laptop or the web interface of your router using your browser?

Please do tell. I have the same question as stig
Laptop logged onto router through browser, Firefox and chrome, unable to set static routes nor static DNS.
Ipad through safari browser, changes made without issues.
Never have run the genie application.
More information, if you hadn't seen previous posts.
I bought this router 2 weeks ago and after a weekend of not being able to set the DNS I took it back to incredible connection thinking it was faulty.
The tech guy had no problems in setting the DNS on my returned router?
There must be some conflict between my laptop and this router, as I borrowed a different brand of router from a friend and had no issues changing the DNS!
My issues are now solved but I'm really interested to find out what the issue is.

Thanks for the info. I'll definitely try this and report back later on. I've tried everything with my one and also started thinking that my router was faulty, hence the option of replacing it. Netgear support was also unable to help resolve the problem on Saturday. We went as far as resetting the router and reinstalling the current version of firmware. I'm really glad that I asked the question in this forum cause it has saved me at least R1k for a replacement router. Thanks again for your suggestion.

Updated the static routes using my tablet, works brilliantly! Thanks a million for the help!
Quick question here.
I've just bought a Roku 3 - and the power plug indicates it supports only 110v electricity.
Some have indicated that it works perfectly fine in SA, others have said to get a converter; according to what I have read.
What should I do?
Thanks

It's just the US regulatory labelling. It's actually a 110 - 220 Volt adapter.
Mines the ELW121210-A and also states 110 volts, but I've been using it for almost 8 months no problem.

Same for me
You'll be fine - buy a travel adapter to change the pins and away you go. Both of mine are plugged directly into 220v
Has it been confirmed that it is US regulatory labelling, or is that a theory? I know of US products which come with a 110-20V adaptor (for example Kindle).
I had the same dilemma when I bought my Roku 18 months ago. Apparently the previous Roku adaptors were rated at 110-220V and had the same model number as the new adaptors, so the assumption was that the new adaptors are okay at 220V. My concern was that the manufacturer of the adaptor may have de-rated it due to problems at 220V. I tested my 110V adaptor at 220V and it worked, but I decided to buy a 220V adaptor instead. I didn't like the idea of adaptors bursting into flames
Mains voltages vary throughout South Africa and can be higher than 240V in some cases. If the adaptor is not properly designed then it is possible for some people to have no problems and others to have problems.
Okay, it is unlikely to burst into flames. It would probably have a thermal fuse which would pop and the adaptor would quietly die, but it could take the Roku with it.
This is just my opinion, maybe I'm being over cautious?

Yes, but when you buy the Kindle from Amazon, you actually buy the international version. I made a mistake when I bought a Kindle for my mom back in 2012. Somehow I managed to buy the US version and after 3 months it refused to connect to the local cell networks. I got hold of them and they shipped a new one. Didn't even had to send the old one back.
I looked into the adapter voltage issue last year when I received the Roku and found several posts on various forums where the adapter works fine in 220 volts. I also read back then that the US try to enforce that adapters only list the 110 voltage, why nobody knew. Somebody has a picture of the same adapter with 110 - 220 volt range. People are using the adapter on 220 volt systems like SA, Aus, UK, etc.
The same is for electronics. EU electronics normally have a voltage selector from 110/220 on the back to allow you to switch the voltage. US does not allow the voltage selectors, so the same identical electronic device goes to US, but the voltage selector is missing and it is "preset" for 110 volt. Yamaha amps for example.
UPDATE: We actually discussed this very issue in this thread many months ago.

I have a Roku from US and UK, the US with the "110 volt" adapter and the UK with the 220v adapter. Both run quite warm, so I doubt it has anything to do with the adapter.
