Log into unknown router

Hi, I purchased a modem second hand. Trying to identitfy the WiFi so that I can login and change the WiFi name and password.

 

It doesn't show under the original name (NETGEAR63). Is there a unique address I could use to login to this speicifc router?

 

The MacBook doesn't have an ethernet jack.

 

Thanks

Robert

       Did you do a full ("factory") reset?  That should restore the
    settings to the ones shown on the label.  Visit
    http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look for
    Documentation.  The User Manual explains the procedure.  Look for
    "Factory Default Settings".

      Yes, I did a factory reset, but it still didn't show up as NETGEAR63.
