For security reasons, the router has its own user name and password. When prompted, enter
admin for the router user name and password for the router password, both in lower case
letters. To change the password, see “Changing the Administrator Password” on page 5-1.
Note: The router user name and password are not the same as any user name or password you
may use to log in to your Internet connection.

Once you have entered your user name and password, your Web browser should find the
wireless router and display the home page as shown in below.
The browser will then display the settings home page.

home page to view up to date support or documentation on the NETGEAR Web site:

this router.
