your existing router assigned to the access point/router. For more information, see Find

Credentials that you must enter to access
the local browser interface
The credentials (email address or user name and password) that you must enter to
access the local browser interface of the access point/router depend on the Internet
connection:
• Connected to the Internet. When the access point/router is connected to the
Internet, you must use your NETGEAR account email address and password to log
in to the local browser interface. If you do not own a NETGEAR account, you can
create one during the log-in process.
• Not connected to the Internet. If the access point/router is not connected to the
Internet, you must use the local login user name (admin) and your customized local
login password, also referred to as the admin password. When you use the Smart
Setup Wizard for the initial log-in process on the access point/router, you must
customize the local login password. (By default, the local login password is
password.)
IMPORTANT: When the access point/router is connected to the Internet, you cannot
use the admin user name and local login password to log in to the local browser
interface. You must use your NETGEAR account email address and password.
Note: If a temporary Internet outage occurs and the access point/router cannot
reach the NETGEAR server to log you in with your NETGEAR account email address
and password, you can also use the admin user name and local login password to
access the access point/router.
