Update The Router Firmware; Change The Admin Password - NETGEAR R6400v2 User Manual

Update the Router Firmware

The router firmware (routing software) is stored in flash memory. You might see a message
at the top of the genie screens when new firmware is available. You can respond to that
message to update the firmware, or you can check to see if new firmware is available, and to
update your product.
To check for new firmware and update your router:

1. Launch an Internet browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
network.
2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Administration > Router Update.
The Router Update page displays.
5. Click the Check button.
The router finds new firmware information if any is available and displays a message
asking if you want to download and install it.
6. Click the Yes button.
The router locates and downloads the firmware and begins the update.
WARNING:
To avoid the risk of corrupting the firmware, do not interrupt the
upgrade. For example, do not close the browser, click a link, or load
a new page. Do not turn off the router.
When the upload is complete, your router restarts. The upgrade process typically takes
about one minute. Read the new firmware release notes to find out if you must
reconfigure the router after upgrading.

Change the admin Password

You can change the default password that is used to log in to the router with the user name
admin. This password is not the one that you use for WiFi access. The label on your router
shows your unique wireless network name (SSID) and password for wireless access.
