Changing the Built-In Passwords
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.

password of

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