Can’t I can’t access xr450 pro gaming router to change password. WiFi is there but won’t connect

I received my xr 450 NETGEAR pro gaming router from a friend but I can’t access the router to change the password. The one on the bottom of the router isn’t working. The WiFi is there but I can’t get on it to go to router login.com to reset it.

    Factory reset it. Push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while its powered on. 

    that should get it back to the defaults.

        Hold the reset for 30 seconds then release, wait 4 minutes, then connect via ethernet and enter http://192.168.1.1 and see if you can access. Default credentials are admin / password
