Changing the Built-In Password

For security reasons, the wireless modem router has its own user name and password. Also, after a
period of inactivity for a set length of time, the administrator login automatically disconnects.
When prompted, enter admin:for the wireless modem router user name and password for the
wireless modem router password. You can use the following procedures to change the wireless
modem router's password and the period for the administrator's login time-out.
Note: The user name and password are not the same as any other user name or password
your 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
upper case and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols. Your password can be up to 30
characters.
1. Log in to the wireless modem router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its
default user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever password
and LAN address you have chosen for the wireless modem router.
