How do I change the router's "default login credentials" on Netgear Wireless Model WNR2000?
How do I change the router's "default login credentials" on Netgear Wireless Model WNR2000?
I believe that my neighbors have been logging into and using my wireless router thus stealing internet service from me causing slow internet connections and I would like to change the "Default Login Credentials" for when logging in through "http://routerlogin.net/"
Currently, it's set to default like the following....
Username: admin
Password: password
I've searched everywhere and I cannot find an answer as to how to change this. Please advise. Thank you. :-)

Remember, changing the login details for the modem and access through "http://routerlogin.net/" will do nothing to block someone from logging into your wifi network.
Protecting the wifi requires changing the SSID and the wifi password associated with it. And ensuring that there are no Public (password free) channels.
Fixing this is also describe in the manual.
