the router.

Login Problems
If you are unable to log in to the wireless router, check the following:
•
If you are using an Ethernet-connected computer, check the Ethernet connection between the
computer and the router as described in the NETGEAR N150 Wireless Router Setup Manual.
•
Make sure you are using the correct login information. The factory default login name is
admin and the password is password. Make sure that the Caps Lock is off when entering this
information.
•
Make sure your computer’s IP address is on the same subnet as the router. If your are using the
recommended addressing scheme, your computer’s address should be in the range of
192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254. Refer to your computer’s documentation or see
for help with configuring your computer.
•
If your router’s IP address has been changed and you don’t know the current IP address, reset
the router’s configuration to the factory defaults. This procedure will reset the router’s IP
address to 192.168.1.1 (see
“Default Configuration Settings” in Appendix A
).
•
Make sure your browser has Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX enabled. If you are using Internet
Explorer, click Refresh to be sure the Java applet is loaded. Try closing the browser and
reopening it again.
Note: If your computer cannot reach a DHCP server, some operating systems will
assign an IP address in the range 169.254.x.x. If your IP address is in this
range, verify that you have a good connection from the computer to the router,
then restart (reboot) your computer.
