You can either use the Restore Factory Settings button on the back of the router (see
Factory
Default Settings
on page 93), or you can click the
Erase
button in this screen.
Erase sets the user name to admin, the password to password, and the LAN IP address to
192.168.1.1, and enables the router’s DHCP.
Set Password
This feature allows you to change the default password that is used to log in to the router with
the user name admin.
This change of password is not the same as changing the password for wireless access. The
label on the bottom of your router shows your unique wireless network name (SSID) and
password for wireless access (see
Router Label
on page 10).
To set the password for the user name admin:
1.
Select
ADVANCED > Administration > Set Password
to display the following screen:
2.
Type the old password, and type the new password twice in the fields on this screen.
3.
If you want to be able to recover the password, select the
Enable Password Recovery
check box.
4.
Click
Apply
so that your changes take effect.
Password Recovery
NETGEAR recommends that you enable password recovery when you change the password
for the router’s user name of admin. Then you have an easy way to recover the password
when it is forgotten. This recovery process is supported in Internet Explorer, Firefox, and
Chrome browsers, but not in the Safari browser.

To set up password recovery:
1.
Select the
Enable Password Recovery
check box.
2.
Select two security questions, and provide answers to them.
3.
Click
Apply
to save your changes.
When you use your browser to access the router, the login screen displays. If password
recovery is enabled, when you click Cancel, the password recovery process starts. You can
then enter the saved answers to the security questions to recover the password.
Diagnostics
Use the Diagnostics screen to perform various diagnostics. For normal operation, these tests
are not required.
To run the diagnostics:
Select
ADVANCED > Administration > Diagnostics
to display the following screen:
Ping an IP address
. Use this test to send a ping packet request to the specified IP address.
This procedure is often used to test a connection. If the request times out because no reply is
received, this result usually means that the destination is unreachable. However, some
network devices can be configured not to respond to a ping.
Perform a DNS Lookup
. A DNS (Domain Name Server) converts the Internet name (for
example, www.netgear.com) to an IP address. If you need the IP address of a web, FTP,
mail, or other server on the Internet, you can do a DNS lookup to find the IP address.
Display the Routing Table
. This operation displays the internal routing table. This
information gets used by technical support and other staff who understand routing tables.

Reboot the Router
. Use this button to perform a remote reboot (restart). You can use this
procedure when the router seems to have become unstable or is not operating normally.
Note:
Rebooting breaks any existing connections either to the router (such
as this one) or through the router (such as LAN users accessing the
Internet). However, connections to the Internet are automatically
reestablished when possible.
Save diagnostics information
. Use this button to view the diagnostics information.
