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 Restoring the

Default Configuration and Password on page 91.

2. From the main menu, under Maintenance, select Set Password.

3. To change the password, first enter the old password, and then enter the new password

twice.

4. Click Apply to save your changes.

Note: After changing the password, you must log in again to continue the

configuration. If you have backed up the router settings previously,

you should do a new backup so that the saved settings file includes

the new password.
