Hello Guys !
I forgot my router password. Is there any other way to recover the password without resetting my router?
Thanks.

Unfortunately, your WNR612v2 is too old (2010) to support "password recovery". That's a "new" (around 2013) feature.

http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look for
Documentation. Get the User Manual. Look for "reset".Thanks, both of you antinode michaelkenward.
On User Manual there is NO other option to recover the password without resetting router:mansad:.
I already reset my router:smileyhappy:.

Thanks for confirming what I said.
Don't expect too much of the WNR612v2.
According to Netgear's manual for this device the LAN and WAN support only 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX. That makes it slower than many newer internet services and most modern network hardware. This may not matter to you, but be warned that it will hobble you if you ever sign up for faster Internet. It also slows down whatever is going on in your local network. Newer devices support 1000BASE-TX.
Oh, and no 5 GHz wifi. This device does date back to 2009 after all.
