N600 Wireless Dual Band Router WNDR3400v3

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 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 Label on page 14).

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 if you change the password for

the router’s user name of admin. You then 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.

To set up password recovery:

1. Select the Enable Password Recovery check box.
