A message notifies you when the gateway has been restored to previous settings. Then, the gateway restarts, which takes about one minute.

Note: When restoring configuration settings, do not interrupt the process by going online, turning off the gateway, or shutting down the computer.

Changing the Built-In Password

For security reasons, the gateway 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. You can change the gateway’s password.

NETGEAR recommends that you change the default password to a more secure password. The ideal passwords should contain no dictionary words from any language, and should be a mixture of both upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols. Your passwords can be up to 30 characters.

To change the password:

1.Log in to the gateway as described in “Logging In to Your Gateway” on page 1-4.

2.In the main menu, under Maintenance, select Set Password. The Set Password screen displays.
