Can’t login after hard reset
So I got this router from my parents, and I hard reset it but I don’t know the original password to connect via WiFi to reconfigure the settings. Is there a way I can connect to change the settings?

How hard? Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model
number, and look for Documentation. The User Manual explains the
procedure. Look for "Factory Default Settings".

This information is often found on the product label on the router.
If that fails, try a wired connection.
