NETGEAR Default Passwords (Updated January 2023)

• These NETGEAR switches have default IP addresses that are assigned via DHCP, meaning that the IP address will be different depending on the network the switches are installed on; information that you can get by checking the dynamic IP address that the DHCP server (often the router on the web) has assigned to it. The IP address listed next to some of the DHCP-assigned default IP addresses in the table above is the default IP address if there is no DHCP device on the network or there was an issue assigning an IP.
• The NETGEAR FSM726 network switch comes in three hardware versions. Version 1 & 2 both have a default password of 1234, while version 3 does not require a default password (i.e., leave it blank) and has a backup default IP of 169.254.100.100 if there’s no automatic assignment by a DHCP server.
• NETGEAR RP614 routers come in several hardware versions. Versions 1, 2, and 3 all have the default IP address of 192.168.0.1, while versions 4 and later all have the default IP of 192.168.1.1.
• Versions 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of the NETGEAR WGR614 router have a default IP address of 192.168.0.1. Versions 6 and later have the default IP address of 192.168.1.1.
• WGT624 routers manufactured with hardware version 1 or 2 have a default IP address of 192.168.0.1, while editions with version 3 or later have a default IP of 192.168.1.1.

How to Change Your NETGEAR Default Password

Changing your NETGEAR default password is critical in protecting your internet connection and data. With just a few simple steps, you can easily change the password.

To begin, navigate to the router’s configuration page. To get to this page, launch a web browser on any network-connected device and type “www.routerlogin/net” into the address bar. If prompted, enter ‘admin’ as both your username and password. After logging in, navigate to and select “Wireless Settings” from the menu options.

From there, select “Security Options” and then “Password.” Enter your new password twice before clicking the save or apply changes button at the bottom of the screen.

What to Do If the NETGEAR Default Password Doesn’t Work

If your default password for the NETGEAR device doesn’t work, your device no longer has a configured password. Reset the device to factory defaults.

How to reset NETGEAR Router?

On most NETGEAR routers, the factory reset process is pretty simple.

1. Locate the “Reset” button.
2. Insert a bent paper clip.
3. Press it for 10 seconds or until the power light blinks.
4. Release the “Reset” button.

As soon as you let go of the “Reset” button, your NETGEAR device will restart itself. When the power light stays white or green and doesn’t blink, your device has been reset and is ready to use.

Use the default password listed above or the one on the back of your router to get into the device’s configuration panel. To get to the configuration panel, enter this password when asked during the login process.

If the process mentioned above didn’t work for you, you might need to refer to PDF manual for your NETGEAR router from their support.

If the factory reset was successful, the IP address may have been reset to the default. You can find your model in the table above.
