NETGEAR WGT624 manual Changing the Administrator Password, Erasing the Configuration

Reference Manual for the 108 Mbps Wireless Firewall Router WGT624

Erasing the Configuration

It is sometimes desirable to restore the router to the factory default settings. This can be done by using the Erase function, which will restore all factory settings. After an erase, the router's password will be password, the LAN IP address will be 192.168.0.1, and the router's DHCP client will be enabled.

To erase the configuration, click the Erase button.

To restore the factory default configuration settings without knowing the login password or IP address, you must use the Default Reset button on the rear panel of the router. See “Restoring the Default Configuration and Password” on page 8-7.

Changing the Administrator Password

The default password for the router’s web Configuration Manager is password. Netgear recommends that you change this password to a more secure password.

From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under the Maintenance heading, select Set Password to bring up the menu shown below.
