Net Gear, at least here I think had default log in info of admin as
username and password is "password". Could have been just the
password with an empty user too I can't recall. You ought find that
with a Google bit. Either way when you do get logged in I'd highly
recommend changing those. I know of no default pass key for security
(WPA, WPA2, etc.). Once you log on the router though just go to the
wireless setting that is not in the advanced area, if there are two
of them there. Pick the WPA2, put in your pass key, writing it down
someplace for future 'smile', and hit OK and you'll be good to go.
For additional security you can hide the broadcast of your wireless
network and filter out any devices/computers from accessing your
network, or help anyway, with MAC address filtering.

Hi,
Do you know where or what it might be called under the Wireless
category. Or if there is a default WiFI password for Netgear
routers? I just recently found out that the router and WIFI
password were to different things. I am itching to play with my IPhone.
Thanks, Bob

Hi, if you hardwire the computer to the router, you should be able to find
the password under the wireless category when you log into the router.
Of course, if you don't have the log on information for the router, then I'm
afraid there's nothing you can do except reset the router to it's factory
defaults, Google the default Username and password, and reset all of the
Usernames and passwords again.
You can do this by taking a unbent paper clip, and sticking into the reset
hole on the outside of the router's case.
Just make sure you select the WPA2 encryption, as WEP is way too easy to
crack.
