I set up two passwords on Netgear 55 but I cannot remember the other one. How do I recover it?
How do I recover the password for my 2.4 ghz? I know my 5 ghz password though.

There's no way to recover a forgotten SSID password. Your only solution is to factory reset

Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number,
and look for Documentation. Get the User Manual (at least). Read.
Look for "Types of Logins" and "Basic Wireless Settings". Further
reading might not hurt, either. If the default password fails, then
look for "Reset".> There's no way to recover a forgotten SSID password. Your only

Depends on the router you are using and how you approach it.
Netgears' desktop genie for Windows and Macs has a "retrieve password" option if you can login to the router's management graphical user interface.
Netgear wants the genie to die and keeps moving the thing around. Last seen here:

As long as you have the 5 GHz wireless available, you should be able to access the undefined Netgear router model Web UI, e.g. using http://routerlogin.net/ ... hope you still remember the admin password.
