Protecting Access to Your Modem Router
For security reasons, the 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 user name and password for the password. You can use procedures
in the following sections to change the password and the amount of time for the administrator’s
login time-out.
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 and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols. Your password can be up to 30 characters.
Changing the Built-In Password
1. Log in to the modem router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default
user name of admin, default password of password, or using whatever password and LAN
address you have chosen for the modem router.
2. From the main menu, under the Maintenance heading, select Set Password to display the Set
Password screen:
3. To change the password, first enter the old password, and then enter the new password twice.
4. Click Apply to save your changes.
Note: The user name and password are not the same as a user name or password you
might use to log in to your Internet connection.
Note: After changing the password, you must log in again to continue the
configuration. If you have backed up the modem router settings previously,
you should do a new backup so that the saved settings file includes the new
password.
