Login Problems
If you are unable to log in to the wireless router, check the following:
• If you are using an Ethernet-connected computer, check the Ethernet connection between the 
computer and the router as described in the NETGEAR Wireless Router Setup Manual.
• Make sure you are using the correct login information. The factory default login name is 
admin and the password is password. Make sure that the Caps Lock is off when entering this 
information.
• Make sure your computer’s IP address is on the same subnet as the router. If your are using the 
recommended addressing scheme, your computer’s address should be in the range of 
192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254. Refer to your computer’s documentation or see “Preparing 
Your Network” in Appendix B for help with configuring your computer.
• If your router’s IP address has been changed and you don’t know the current IP address, see . 
http://www.routerlogin.net.
• Make sure your browser has Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX enabled. If you are using Internet 
Explorer, click Refresh to be sure the Java applet is loaded. Try closing the browser and 
reopening it again.
• If you are attempting to set up your NETGEAR router as an additional router behind an 
existing router in your network, consider replacing the existing router instead. NETGEAR 
does not support such a configuration.
Note: If your computer cannot reach a DHCP server, some operating systems will 
assign an IP address in the range 169.254.x.x. If your IP address is in this 
range, verify that you have a good connection from the computer to the router, 
then restart (reboot) your computer.
