Protecting Access to Your DG834 ADSL Firewall Router
For security reasons, the router has its own user name and password. Also, after a period of
inactivity for a set length of time, the administrator login will automatically disconnect. When
prompted, enter
admin
for the router User Name and
password
for the router Password. You can
use procedures below to change the router's password and the amount of time for the
administrator’s login timeout.
Note:
The user name and password are not the same as any user name or password your may use
to log in to your Internet connection.
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.
