ADmin password
Hi,
I have Netgear C7000v2. Do I have to use the web to change my admin password. Is there not a place I can do that on the nighthawk application.
I also notice that I have to go 192.168.0.1 to get admin tab to come up? Is that right? Is this secure? I then put the admin password in and try to change it but it doesn't change right away? So I am getting confused on which password it is.
Is there an easier way to change the admin password? I also tried the genie application but you don't support that any more.
Thanks
