I just purchased this router and I’m trying to figure out the app. Its telling me to log in with the admin password and i am using the password found on the router and it is NOT working. Also I’m wondering if i can use TWO routers ? We like to play video games and our internet sucks and no other companies come to our area so I’m trying to work around the laggy-ness.

Login to what? The browser graphical user interface (GUI) or the wifi?

They have different passwords.

Hard to unravel what is going on there. Two routers on one network is not a good idea.

Two routers on your network can cause headaches. For example, you can end up with local address problems. Among other things, the other router can misdirect addresses that the Netgear router usually handles, such as routerlogin.net or the usual IP address for a router, 192.168.1.1.

This explains some of the other drawbacks.

If you are talking about using two different internet suppliers, then that is a whole new can of worms.

Don't mix up the wireless network name (SSID) and the security key (misleadingly designated password) ...

...with the admin username and the access password - which is by default: password

...which must be used on the App as well as for the local login usng a Web browser on http://routerlogin.com

Tell us more about your ISP, your Internet connection, the house where you want to have Internet coverage, .... But two routers (as routers) are a no-no as @michaelkenward already mentioned.
