Admin password for AX1800 defualt

I am setting up a new mesh for my home. The app is asking for a default password. I have been unable to find it anywhere so tried a few regular ones with no success.
Where or what’s is the default admin password.
Thanks in advance

  • Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the NightHawk MESH products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with NH MESH products and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this router forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

    Please use this link to the main forum product list to review and choose where to make your posts.

    Thank you.

  • the default values are:

    login: admin

    password: password

     

    All lower case. 

    If its a device thats been returned or prior setup, it might have been changed. Try factory resetting by pushing and holding reset for 7-15 seconds while powered on. that'll get it back to the default values.
