NETGEAR RangeMax™ NEXT Wireless Router WNR834B User Manual
Erasing the Configuration
Under some circumstances (for example, if you move the router to a different network or if you have forgotten the password) you may want to erase the configuration and restore the factory default settings. After an erase, the router’s username is admin, the password is password, the LAN IP address is 192.168.1.1 (or www.routerlogin.net), and the router's DHCP server
is 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 “Problems with Date and Time” on page
Upgrading the Router Software
Tip: To ensure that you are always using the latest firmware, enable the Firmware Upgrade Assistant feature so that the router will automatically detect a new version of the firmware on the Internet and alert you to its availability.
This screen appears at login unless you check Do Not Display This Message Again and click Yes.
Figure
Tip: Before upgrading the router software, use the router Backup menu to save your configuration settings. A router upgrade might revert the router settings back to the factory defaults. If so, after completing the upgrade, you can restore your settings from the backup.
