I have a wgt624 v3 i reset to factory admin and password but im 49 have a bit of alzheimers so can you help me set up and secure it

On the back of the router there is a very small button something you would need to use a paperclip or other small object to push push and hold that button for a few seconds that will restore the factory default settings to the router. then admin should be the user id and leave the password blank to get into the router settings

Hi,
Default settings will be as mentioned below....
IP address: //192.168.1.1
Username: admin
Passsword: password

Thanks,

Unfortunately, there is no way to recover a lost or forgotten password from a router or access point; you will need to reset the device to factory defaults. However, once the device is reset to factory defaults, you can use the default username ("admin") and password (either "password" or "1234" depending on your router) to reconfigure your router settings.

or

if there is a small hole in the front or back of the router push a hair pin in to reset to factory settings

hope this helps

Most of the NETGEAR devices, except ReadyNAS products and Fully Managed switches, have the following default username and password:

• Username = admin
• Password = password
• • For older devices, password = 1234

If you have changed the default password and have forgotten it, you will need to reset the NETGEAR device to factory default settings in order to use the default username and password. Click here to learn how to reset the NETGEAR device to factory default settings. Please note: restoring a device to its factory default settings will erase any changes you have saved to the device.

To do a factory reset on the WGT624:

Unplug the power to the router
Take a paperclip and hold the "Reset" button on the rear
Plug the router back in while holding down the reset button
Wait 20 seconds, and let go of the rest button

To log into the router, open up your web browser and type "192.168.0.1" in the address bar. The default username is "admin" and the default password is "admin".

Once you log in you will be able to reconfigure the wireless security.

Reset the router from back , Hold the reset key for 30 sec , Make sure router is powered on , Turn off the router for 30 secs and then turn it back on , Your router login would be username : admin and password : admin factory default

sometimes the defult will be the word (admin) unless you setup a password when you first installed the router. Sometimes you might have a reset pin like hole in order to reset the defaults on your router. you may also go the NETGEARS website and see what the default password is for your model NetGear.

a router by default is open to all network.To set a key you need to go into a browser and type 192.168.*.* depending on your router it will differ from others.Then once into your router setting you can create a password and wep key according to your wants.It is not a difficult task but you need some patience and a bit of struggling with some google help will solve this problem.

If you hold the reset pin in for more than ten seconds(I always count to 15) it will do a Factory reset...this will set all back to factory specs

Then you can set a new wep as well as an admin password

if you're having problems communicating with your old router try to reset it by pressing on the reset button and then hold for 30seconds first. if you just press on it quickly, the router will not reset. this is the last option because by resetting it, your router will go back to its default settings and the un/pw is admin and password or admin and leave password blank
