Change password

My router came with a password. I’ve shared the password. Now I need to change the password. How do I change the original password? Thank you.

Re: Change password

Which password is this? The one that lets you into the device's controls or its wifi?

 

And what router is this?

 

If you visit the support pages:

 

Support | NETGEAR

 

you can feed in the model number and find all the documentation for your hardware.

 

You might also do better to put your question in the section dedicated to your hardware. If you want advice on an app, which one? The "genie" could be one of several things, the browser interface, a Windows or Mac application, or an Android/iThing app.

You have an issue with one of the many passwords involved in your Netgear network?

Re: Change password

Yes, I’m having problems changing my admin password.  If I had a Samsung phone I could change the password but I have an iPhone and iPad.  I can’t remember the name of the tab I needed.  I also typed my password so someone else could use my internet when they came over.  I was able to change the internet password but it has not required anyone I provided the password to change their password. I’m not happy with netgear.

We still do not know what hardware you have.
