Managing Your Network

The gateway automatically goes through the following steps in the provisioning process:

1. It acquires and locks the downstream channel

2. It acquires the upstream parameters and range.

3. It locks the upstream channel

4. It acquires the IP address through DHCP

For security reasons, the gateway has its own user names and passwords. Also, after a period of 
inactivity for a set length of time, the administrator login will automatically disconnect.You can 
use procedures below to change the gateway’s passwords.

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.

To change the password:

1. Log in to the gateway using its default address of http://192.168.0.1 or at whatever IP address 

the unit is currently configured. 

The gateway has two user names with passwords:

•

To access all features of the gateway, log in with the user name superuser and its default 
password of password, both with lower-case letters.

•

To access all features of the gateway except content filtering and MAC filtering, log in 
with the user name admin and its default password of password.

Note: The user names and passwords are not the same as any user name or password you 

may use to log in to your Internet connection.
