Follow this Netgear Router login guide to find out how to log in to your router and what options should you tweak to ensure you are getting the fastest and securest internet speed possible.

If you haven’t had a chance to setup or configure your router, but now being forced to change some settings, then you must know how to log in to your Netgear device. If you have completely forgotten what the login details for your Netgear Router is, then here is how you can find it.

There are two ways of logging in to your Netgear router, either from your computer using a web browser or from your smartphone or tablet using a dedicated app.

How to log in to your Netgear router from your computer?

1. Launch a web browser and enter http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com. As the webpage opens, you will see the router login window asking you to enter a username and password. If the router login window doesn’t appear, then you have to find an alternative method for logging in.
2. You can perform a Netgear router login by entering an IP address of your Netgear router in the URL bar ...
... of the web browser. The IP address will be something like 192.168.xxx.xxx. Find the IP address on your router and enter it into the web browser.
3. If you are using Windows 10, then right-click on ‘Start’, then open ‘Command Prompt’ and enter ‘cmd’. Enter ‘ipconfig’ and you will see a string of numbers, so try to find the default gateway from those numbers. Enter the default gateway number in the address bar and that’s it.
4. Enter user credentials in the router login window and click sign in.
5. If you haven’t changed the default login credentials, then you should try entering ‘admin’ and ‘password’ in the username and password fields. In case, you have changed the username and password, but don’t know what the new ones are, then you will have to take the help of experts.
6. You can also go for password recovery by entering the router’s serial number along with answering some security questions.
7. The last resort is to factory reset your router by long-pressing the reset button on the rear of the device.
