Cannot find a way to change Network Genie password
The "Master" response to was to download my manual but I still cannot find how to change the Network Genie user name:admin and password:password. I cannot find it on the Network Genie site either. I am not certain why it is so difficult so it must be obvious and I can't see it on the site or in the manual.
Manual - Page 77 - that's why ppl ask you to read the manual..
Or, under ADVANCED > Administration > Set Password.
Both work:
http://www.es.netgear.com/home/products/networking/wifi-routers/ - click on your router.
https://www.netgear.com/support/ - or.. enter router name

Also, this site does not allow me to enter my model number R6050 in the field that says Model (Recommended - Helps the community give the best answers.) When I enter the model number, it disappears when I post.

That one is hard wired. You are stuck with it.
