WNDR3400v3
I can not seem to login to my router and have tried to recover password. I also used the factory password they come with which I'm told was the word password. Nothing seems to work but the router is functioning as I write this. Any ideas on how to fix this issue.

Did you actually factory reset it? Or just try the factory password.
If you don't know your password and the recovery option doesn't work (or wasn't setup), then you'd need to factory reset to get back to the defaults.
Push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while powered on.
then follow the install guide.

The WNDR3400v3 is an old (2014 with its roots in 2010) router. You don't say what happens when you try to login but as a router it probably sits behind a modem/gateway. If that is also a router that may be getting in the way of your access to the router.
By the way according to Netgear's manual for this device, not always the most reliable source of information, the LAN and WAN ports 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 at least 1000BASE-TX.
Nothing wrong with it being old, just don't expect too much.
