NETGEAR RangeMax™ Wireless-N Gigabit Router WNR3500 User Manual
6-8 Using Network Monitoring Tools
v1.0, March 2008
Erasing the Configuration
Under some circumstances (for example, if you move the router to a different network or if you
have forgotten the password) you might want to erase the configuration and restore the factory
default settings. After an erase, the routers username is admin, the password is password, the
LAN IP address is 192.168.1.1 (or www.routerlogin.net), and the router’s DHCP server is
enabled.
To erase the configuration, click the Erase button in the Settings Backup screen.
To restore the factory default configuration settings when you do not know the login password or
IP address, you must use the restore factory settings button on the rear panel of the router (see
“Restoring the Default Configuration and Password” on page 7-13).
Upgrading the Router Software
The routing software (also called firmware) of the WNR3500 router is stored in flash memory, and
can be upgraded as NETGEAR releases new software. Your router can download and install the
new software, or you can download upgrade files from the NETGEAR website and manually send
the upgrade file to the router using your browser.
The Checking for Firmware Updates screen appears at login unless you clear the Check for
Updated Firmware Upon Log-in check box.
Tip: To ensure that you are always using the latest router firmware, enable the Firmware
Upgrade Assistant feature so that the router will automatically detect a new version
of the firmware on the Internet and alert you to its availability.
