This chapter describes how to use the basic firewall features of the DG834N RangeMax
Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router to protect your network.

Protecting Access to Your Wireless Modem Router

For security reasons, the wireless modem router has its own user name and password. Also, after a
period of inactivity for a set length of time, the administrator login will automatically disconnect.
When prompted, enter admin for the wireless modem router user name and password for the
wireless modem router password. You can use procedures below to change the wireless modem
router's password and the amount of time for the administrator's login timeout.
Note: The user name and password are not the same as any user name or password your
may 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
upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols. Your password can be up to 30 characters.

How to Change the Built-In Password

1. Log in to the wireless modem router at its default LAN address of
default User Name of admin, default password of password, or using whatever Password and
LAN address you have chosen for the wireless modem router.
