what idiot at microsoft

i'd like to know what idiot at microsoft removed the
actual application software for the MN-100 wired model.
The new download for it is an update only.. NOT a
download for the original software. If the orginal
software it not installed on your computer it will not
continue.. WHERE is the software now.. Did the idiot that
uploaded the file to the download site realize this is
the update only? The cdrom for my MN-100 is lost and now
I can not reinstall it so my router is usless and so it
the internet on the other 2 computers in this house. I
have downloaded the software before from the same page
link.. So I know it used to be here.

Download the msbndownload.exe file
Run the msbndownload.exe file
Accept the EULA
Save the files to "C:\MSBBN"
Once the files are extracted, cancel the setup.

Goto C:\MSBBN through Windows Explorer
Right click msbn.msi and install it.


That will give you the BNU software (if you are using Windows XP, the BNU is
really useless)

If you downloaded the software before, and don't have it now, WHO's the
idiot?

Actually, we have never had the software that comes on the CD available for
download on the Web site before. It has been something that people have
requested, so we will be making it available with then next update. In the
meantime, you can download the latest version from here:
