Hi,

I am unable to connect to my Netgear router at http://192.168.0.1

When prompted to enter username and password, I enter 'admin' and 'password', but the router doesn't seem to recognise it anymore, I am in the process of setting up WEP security.

I have tried resetting the router (Netgear DG834GT), but it still does not work. Any ideas on how I can reset it so that it accepts the original username and password.

Thanks,

Mannie

Try 192.168.1.1

Life's more painless for the brainless.

leave password out

Thanks for this, I will try this out once I get home from work.

The default on most (if not all) SOHO routers is "admin" as the username and a blank password. If that doesn't work, then you'll have to dig out the manual and reset it to the factory defaults.

Yeah you probably need to reset the router as Curt R suggested. According to this netgear article:

1. The default router IP address is either 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 (you need to refer to your product documentation to determine the default IP address).

2. The default Username is admin, and the default Password is password.

Most if not all of these routers have a way of resetting to factory settings. Most of the time it is done by pressing the reset button for a while then turning it off with the button pressed, waiting a little, then turning it on again. You might want to try that if everything else fails.

Thanks - it worked fine, I just wasnt patient enough in the first place.

Now just to get the Internet working with WEP turned on !!!
