As a matter of fact, whenever you buy a brand new Netgear WiFi router, it is configured and installed with factory default settings. On the other hand, when you make use of the local web address routerlogin.net to access the Netgear router login page, the username would be admin and the password would be the password (default). So, in order to improve the security of your network, you have to change the Netgear router login password (default login details).
Please note down that the admin password is not the password that you are using to access your WiFi network.
Change Your Netgear wireless router admin password:
-
In the first place, you have to load up a web browser from a computer or laptop that should be connected to your Netgear router’s WiFi network.
-
Type routerlogin.net web address, not into the search bar but into your web browser’s address bar. If the Routerlogin.net not working then use router login IP Netgear address (default) that is 192.168.1.1
-
Click on Enter once done.
A router login window displays.
-
Enter your Netgear router’s username and password.
The Basic Home page displays. Select the following options one by one:

Set Password.
Enter your old password – type the new password – re-enter the password.
-
Select the ‘Enable Password Recovery’ option if you want to recover your network password in the future.
-
Click on ‘Apply’ and your settings are saved successfully.
Despite the fact that if your device disconnects from your main wireless network, then it is recommended to view the list of the available wireless networks again and after that, enter the new WiFi network key .
