Maintenance

It is sometimes desirable to restore the router to the factory default settings. This can be done by 
using the Erase function, which will restore all factory settings. After an erase, the router's 
password will be password, the LAN IP address will be 192.168.1.1, and the router's DHCP client 
will be enabled.

To erase the configuration, click the Erase button.

To restore the factory default configuration settings without knowing the login password or IP 
address, you must use the default reset button on the rear panel of the router. See 

.

The default password for the router’s Web Configuration Manager is password. NETGEAR 
recommends that you change this password to a more secure password. 

From the main menu of the browser interface, under the Maintenance heading, select Set Password 
to bring up the menu shown below.

To change the password, first enter the old password, and then enter the new password twice. 
Click Apply.
