      N150 WIRELESS ROUTER  WNR612v3

      NETGEAR88

      Hi , i think once we reset router everything changes to default i.e,wifi name as highlighted in attached pic and it's status to open instead of secured if i am wrong please correct me. For instance i have tried that default password as quoted on router.

        netgear88 is secured ....default WIFI settings are secure...only your router uses the default passphrase for wifi.

         

        Log in and change router password if your worried about it.
