D6300 WiFi DSL Modem Router
Either you can use the Restore Factory Settings button on the back of the WiFi DSL modem
router (see Factory Settings on page 130), or you can click the Erase button in this screen.
Erase sets the user name to admin, the password to password, and the LAN IP address to
192.168.1.1, and enables the WiFi DSL modem router’s DHCP.
Set Password
This feature allows you to change the default password that is used to log in to the WiFi DSL
modem router with the user name admin.
This procedure is not the same as changing the password for wireless access. The label on
the bottom of your WiFi DSL modem router shows your unique wireless network name
(SSID) and password for wireless access (see Label on page 12).
To set the password for the user name admin:
1. Select ADV
ANCED > 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 ef
fect.
Password Recovery
NETGEAR recommends that you enable password recovery if you change the password for
the router’s user name of admin. Then you 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.
