   Here's a radical concept which works for some people:

 

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFM

 

   Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation.  Get the User Manual.  Read.  Look for "Factory
Settings".  Further reading might not hurt, either.

         Which "Link"?  Which kind of "not working"?

       

         "not working" is not a useful problem description.  It does not say
      what you did.  It does not say what happened when you did it.  As usual,
      showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results (error
      messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague
      descriptions or interpretations.

        I was assuming it had previously been factory reset since it was a returned item and the actual network name and password were set to default. While scrolling forums that no-one typically cares about until they genuinely want help, try not being such a wiener next time. Other person that replied just posted a real answer, unlike you who mouth-breathes as you touch yourself to your Wikipedia links.

        However, I did figure it out after reading your first comment. So, thanks!
