Chapter 3
Protecting Your Network
This chapter describes how to control access to your gateway and how to use the firewall features
of the gateway to protect your network.
Changing the Default Password
For security reasons, the gateway has its own user name and password. The administrator user
name is
admin , with the default password of password . After a period of inactivity for a set length
of time, the administrator login automatically disconnects. You can change the password, and you
can change the amount of time for the administrator login timeout.
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 default password:
1. Log in to the gateway by entering the default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its
default user name of admin , default password of password , or using whatever password and
LAN address you have chosen for the gateway.
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.
