Monitoring Tools for Traffic Management
The VPN firewall includes several tools that can be used to monitor the traffic conditions of 
the firewall and content-filtering engine and to monitor the users’ access to the Internet and 
the types of traffic that they are allowed to send and receive. For more information about 
these tools, see 
System Management
This section contains the following topics:
Change Passwords and Administrator and Guest Settings
The default administrator and default guest passwords for the web management interface are 
both password. NETGEAR recommends that you change the password for the administrator 
account to a more secure password, and that you configure a separate secure password for 
the guest account. 
After a factory defaults reset, the password and time-out value are changed back to 
password and five minutes, respectively.
For general information about user accounts, passwords, and login settings, see 
To modify the administrator and guest passwords and idle time-out settings:
