Set Up Password Recovery

NETGEAR recommends that you enable password recovery if you change the password for the modem
router user name admin. Then you can recover the password if it is forgotten. This recovery process is
supported in Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome browsers, but not in the Safari browser.

1. Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the modem router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are
case-sensitive.
4. Click the OK button.
