Looking to change our router default password but we no longer have support. How do I change the password?
Since I no longer have support, I am not seeing any information other than what I can purchase on the Netgear site.

If you factory resets it, it'll get you back to the default login info.
Push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds.
default login: admin
default password: password
all lower case.
You can find your manual here:

Re: Netgear Router Default Password Change
In general you do not need support to change your password. The default password that results after a firmware default reset is always the same. From there you can login and change it to what you prefer.
If you would share the specific model number of your router, you will be pointed in the right direction.

There's a support site with access to manuals, firmware, install guides, etc.
Go to https://www.netgear.com/support/
Type in your model number and from there it'll take you to the above.
Its a great resource to start with.

Re: Netgear Router Default Password Change
The model number is C7000v2
If I understand correctly, I am supposed to do a reset, and then I will be able to change the default password?
The product was never registered so I am not able to see anything under My Netgear.
Thank you
