Netgear router login - How to login to Netgear router

You will first need to connect the device with which you want to login to your NETGEAR router to the Wireless Network. Additionally, be sure that the router and device are on the same network. 

Then, follow the steps provided below:

1. Enter your Wi-Fi user credentials into your Network Connections Pane if you are using a desktop.  Click on “Wi-Fi” to do the same if you are using a mobile phone/tablet. 
2. The same connection can also be established via an Ethernet cable that is connected to your device at one endpoint and to the router at the other. (Note: this only works for devices that have Ethernet ports)

Open a web access browser and clear the cache; this is important as a full cache can sometimes create problems while logging in. 

To proceed further, you will need to follow these steps: 

1. Enter either of the following web addresses on the browser:

http://www.routerlogin.net

http://www.routerlogin.com

2. Click/Tap Enter and you will be redirected to your NETGEAR router’s login access page. 

3. Your router’s IP address can also be used to access the same NETGEAR login access page. The default IP Address is either 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1. Type them in the address bar to get to the same access panel. 

Once the Login Panel is displayed before you, it will require user credentials i.e., username and password

• Enter the default username as admin and the default password as password. Note that both of these are case sensitive. 

Sometimes, the default password can be different, especially if you’ve bought it via an ISP that also provides its own customized versions of NETGEAR routers. 

For instance, NETGEAR routers from Virgin have the word virgin as their default username. Similarly, if you’ve bought your NETGEAR router from Sky, then your default password will be sky. To avoid this issue, ask your seller for any such difference before initiating the NETGEAR setup.

• Click/tap on Log in to enter your NETGEAR router’s admin dashboard panel/settings pane. 

It is strongly recommended that you change your credentials from default to something that is more secure, personalized and unique. This is simply to stop anyone from logging in to your router or making an attempt to sabotage it.
