Erasing the Configuration

You can use the Erase feature to erase its configuration settings and restore the router to the
factory default settings.
¾
To erase the configuration:
1. Under Maintenance on the main menu, select Backup Settings.
2. Click Erase.
The router reboots.
After an erase, the router password is password, the LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1, and
the router DHCP client is enabled.
Note: To restore the factory default settings when you do not know the
login password or IP address, press the Restore Factory Settings
button on the bottom of the router for 6 seconds.

Protecting Access to Your Router

For security reasons, the router has its own user name and password. Also, after a period of
inactivity, the login automatically disconnects. The user name and password are not the same
as a user name or password you might use to log in to your Internet connection.
NETGEAR recommends that you change this password to a more secure password. The
ideal password should contain no dictionary words from any language, and should be a
mixture of both uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Your password can
be up to 30 characters.

Changing the Built-In Password

1. To log in to the router, type http://www.routerlogin.net in the address field of your
Internet browser. Enter admin for the user name and your password (or the default,
password .
)
Note: If you changed the password and do not remember what it is, you
can reset the router to its factory default settings. See
