Erase

Under some circumstances, you might want to erase the configuration and restore the factory

default settings. Some examples are if you move the router to a different network or if you

have forgotten the password.

You can use the Restore Factory Settings button on the back of the router (see Factory

Settings on page 123), or you can click the Erase button in this screen.

Erase sets the user name to admin, the password to password, and the LAN IP address to

192.168.1.1, and enables the router’

s DHCP.

Set Password

This feature allows you to change the default password that is used to log in to the router with

the user name admin.

This is not the same as changing the password for wireless access. The label on the bottom

of your router shows your unique wireless network name (SSID) and password for wireless

access (see Label on page 10).

 To set the password for the user name admin:

1. Select Advanced >

Administration > Set Password.

2. Type the old password and type the new password twice in the fields on this screen.

3. If you want to be able to recover the password, select the Enable Password Recovery

check box.

4. Click Apply so that your changes take ef

fect.

Password Recovery

NETGEAR recommends that you enable password recovery if you change the password for

the router’s user name of admin. Then if you forget the password, you can recover it. This

recovery process is supported in Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome browsers, but not in

the Safari browser.

 To set up password recovery:

1. Select the Enable Password Recovery check box.

2. Select two security questions and provide answers to them.
