Types of logins
Separate types of logins serve different purposes. It is important that you understand
the differences so that you know which login to use when.
Several types of logins are associated with the router:
•
ISP login: The login that your Internet service provider (ISP) gave you logs you in to
your Internet service. Your ISP gave you this login information in a letter or some
other way. If you cannot find this login information, contact your ISP.
•
WiFi password: Your router is preset with a unique WiFi network name (SSID) and
password for WiFi access. This information is on the router label. The WiFi password
is also known as the network key or passphrase.
•
NETGEAR account login: The free NETGEAR account that you need to register your
router and manage your subscriptions. If you do not have a NETGEAR account, you
can create one.

Router login: The router login password that you need to log in to the router with
the admin user name when you use a web browser to access and configure the
router.
