That is a standard strategy that Netgear mentions in its KnowledgeBase article:
How do I log in to my NETGEAR wireless router? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
and this:
If you cannot login to your router | Answer | NETGEAR Support
You will also find this in the manuals for most devices.
I chip in only to point out that the exact address depends on the device you are using.
192.168.0.1 tends to be a modem address while for routers it is 192.168.1.1.
Some devices, plain cable modems for example, can have 192.168.100.1 as a default.
As this section of the Netgear community is supposed to be for routers, rather than the modem router mentioned in the subject, I wouldn't want anyone to rush off on a wild goose chase.

Did that change matter?

As suggested in the first reply, above?

"192.168.0.1" was the norm for a modem+router until recent models,
like the CAX series, which also use "192.168.1.1". (I haven't seen an
explanation for the change.) A simple modem tends to use neither
"192.168.0.1" nor "192.168.1.1".
A DOCSIS (cable) modem or modem+router should be accessible at
"192.168.100.1", even when in modem-only mode.
The DM200 DSL modem+router, when in modem-only mode, should be
accessible at "192.168.5.1". (Dxxxx DSL modem+router models have no
such feature.)
