R7000 AC 1900 Wifi Router
Hi - I had to reset the router. What is the IP address where I need to change the password? Thank you!
There is support material, including a manual, for the R7000 somewhere at the end of this link:

If you reset the r7000 then the password was reset to the default. Check your doc. The router IP address is 192.168.1.1. All this is in the user guide that came with router.
If you enter that into a browser you should be taken to the initial screen on the router where you put in the User ID and password.
Thanks Bill. I called Netgear and they gave me routerlogin.net. But it says it's not a secure location and to not enter sensitive info like passwords. How do I change the password safely? 192.168.1.1. says the same thing. Obviously I'm very ignorant when it comes to this kind of thing. I'm so confused that the spot to change your password is not secure.
Oh and I forgot to mention that a user guide was not in the box unfortunately. It seems most electronics don't come with user guides anymore. I will have to search for it on line I guess.

Not much searching is required. Visit http://netgear.com/support ,
put in your model number, and look for Documentation. Get the User
Manual (and anything else which looks interesting). Read.

"it", in this case is your web browser, which may be complaining
because it's worried about your sending some user credentials over an
unencrypted/insecure link ("http://" instead of "https://"). The easy
thing to do is ignore the warning, and proceed. Presumably, you're
talking to your own gizmo on your own LAN. If someone can overlisten to
that traffic, then you're already in big trouble.
