I recently purchased a new router and this is the second day I have wasted trying to get it setup. I missed the initial of using admin and password and now everytime I try to login it says incorrect password. I do I clear it so I can finish the setup??

    What does "missed the initial of using admin and password" mean?

     

    What are you logging into? Wifi? Router graphical user interface (GUI)?

     

    And how? App? Browser?

     

    To get back to the very beginning, reset the thing and start from scratch.

     

    How do I perform a factory reset on my NETGEAR router? | Answer | NETGEAR Support

     

    Then be careful about the passwords you set up.
