Password Recovery
NETGEAR recommends that you enable password recovery if you change the password for
the router’s user name of admin. Then you will have an easy way to recover the password if it
is forgotten. This recovery process is supported in Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome
browsers, but not in the Safari browser.
¾
To set up password recovery:
1. Select the Enable Password Re
covery 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 window 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 > Admi
nistration > 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 the destination is unreachable. However, some network
devices can be configured not to respond to a ping.
