   Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation.  Get some.  Read.  Look for "Troubleshoot" and
"Troubleshooting Access to the Modem Router Main Menu".  Also,
"Restoring the Default Configuration and Password".

> [...] I cannot access it. [...]

 

   "cannot" is not a useful problem description.  It does not say what
you did.  It does not say what happened when you did it.  As usual,
showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results (error
messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague
descriptions or interpretations.

 

> [...] 192.168.1.1 [...]

 

   From where did you pull that address?

   You might get some ideas from a widely neglected resource:

Hello,

thanks for quick reply.

Some more info to clarify the access issue on this legacy Router (but no error messages as the device DG8345G is not accessed (no user/pw window pops up):

1) my PC is connected to an existing and active home (fiber) router that provides internet connectivity and I would like to reconfigure the legacy DG8345G ADSL router (I used in the past when ADSL connected) before going to another home where ADSL connectivity has been activated.

2) in order to reconfigure (with new ADSL parameters) the legacy DG8345G router I have switched it on, connected to my PC with an ethernet cable and I have tried to enter the wizard to get access as indicated in the installation manual. So via browser either with address 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1.

With the first address I have got the following error message:

 

This site can’t be reached

192.168.0.1 took too long to respond.

Try:

ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

 

With the second address I can enter the active fiber router with its user/pw request (but not the DG8345G).

So the question is how to show wizard for user/pw of DG8345G in my PC that is served from another home router for internet access.
