ADSL modem router Password. You can use procedures below to change the ADSL modem

Note: The user name and password are not the same as any user name or password your may use to

NETGEAR recommends that you change this password to a more secure password. The ideal

password should contain no dictionary words from any language, and should be a mixture of both

upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols. Your password can be up to 30 characters.
