WNR614 - After factory reset default SSID password is failing.
Hi, I did factory reset of WNR614 router to reconfigure. But after factory reset it start brodcasting NETGEAR70 as SSID. At back of router it has different default SSID and its password printed....
The default password is unique to each device. You'd have to look at your label.
Or you might have to check into a usb---ethernet adapter so you can hardwire in to access it.
but the cost of that might not be worth it as that device is a pretty base model n300 device.
Not sure how much I'd invest in fixing it versus saving that money for a upgrade.
Try finding a friend or family member with a computer with an ethernet port so you can log into the router. Otherwise I would try to reset it again to see if your SSID changes again, press the reset for 30 seconds with a paper clip.
