Netgear c3000 router password change

I think my router was hacked. The password that comes with the unit is ridiculously weak. When I tried to open YouTube on the tv, the response I get I think is in Korean and I have no access. Avast antivirus already alerted me to the fact the password is weak.

        And that's why I'm here, trying to figure out how to change the router name and password, BEFORE it gets hacked.
