Trying Resurrect this router to expand the range of my Starlink WiFi . I forgot the passwords so I did A factory reset. Thru the iPhone nethear mobile app I am trying to configure this unit. I seem to be able to login using admin and password but I cannot connect to the 5g band, for instance, because I don’t know the password and “password” is not working. Pointers?
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number, and look for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Read. Look for topics like "Types of Logins" and "Use an Internet Browser to Access the Router". Further reading might not hurt, either. Look more closely at the product label?
So I did this. It seems this router cannot connect to a wireless router, i think i has to be plugged in (like a previously had it with my cable modem (old house)). I was able to plug it into my desktop at home, connect it to my starlink router thru the PC which is connected to the starlink router.
Not sure this model has the functionality i need.........

Try to imagine how "Not sure" the non-psychics in your audience must feel. Perhaps if you revealed what "the functionality [you] need" might be, then you might get better advice. Hint: "expand the range of my Starlink WiFi" is not a very detailed description of anything.

Probably true, in general.

If you think that that's a useful description of anything, then you might want to think again. (Hint: If a device has different types of Ethernet ports, then "connected to device" is not enough detail.)
