I have a netgear WGT624 3v wireless router. I have been reading about people have there info stolen when they don't have there wireless router inciped. I went to the netgear web site and got more info on what i need to. I got to my router page but it needed a password that I don't know. It wouldn't take the defalt pass, so it say toerset the router. I did and now I can't even get to the router page and not wireless I had to hadr wire to the cable modem just to get help. what do I do. I am running windows 7.

if you reset the router - it should return to factory defaults and allow you to log in.
are you sure you reset the router correctly
Not looked at the manual - but there should be a button at the back you push in (or a hole where you need to push ) to reset and hold in for 10sec or more .......

I have reset it at least 5 time in the last three days and when is type in 982.168.1.1 it goes to a page the saids home 982.268.1.3 .so I type that in and I go to a blank page.

[etaf]

You posted 982.168.1.1. however, I would expect that address to actually be
192.168.1.1

but I would need to look the manual up - do that now

[etaf]

i have the V2 manual on my PC
and to log in from an internet explorer window
http://192.168.0.1

for name
enter admin
for password
enter password

that should log you in

Its quite possible in V3 its a different IPnumber - i'll need tolook online for that manual

I had a miss type but the manual tell me the same you have said ,but I can't seem to get back to the router page. the only way i can communicate with u is by unplugging the router and going direct form the cable box.

[etaf]

so if you connect a cable between the PC and Router and in IE type - don tconnect the modem
192.168.1.1 (or 192.168.0.1) what happens

it should open the login page on the router

[rich.sandy]

I just tried your 192. 198.0.1 with the router connected and I got this page (192.168.1.3) is managing this device. If is type is (192.168.1.3) it time out and I get nothing. I will try with the router disconnected.

i just tired yours and got the same message i tired the 192.186.1.3 and found nothing. I think I bricked my router!!!

Have you reset until TEST Led turns on

To restore the factory default configuration settings without knowing the administration password
or IP address, you must use the Default Reset button on the rear panel of the router.
1. Press and hold the Default Reset button until the Test LED turns on (about 10 seconds).
2. Release the Default Reset button and wait for the router to reboot.

[rich.sandy]

I think so but i will try again

[rich.sandy]

I got to the netgear wizard and got as far as activating Internet and stopped it gave me a new 192.168.1.5 now and it still goes nowhere.

[rich.sandy]

Do I need to reset my cable modem to. so it can find the new 192.168.1.5?

[etaf]

no the cable modem should be out of the equation right now - we just need to log into the router

netgear wizard and got as far as activating Internet

wasnt plannign on running the wizard
Just Logging IN

can you log into the router

[rich.sandy]

no I don't think i know how. do i need to type in the 192.168.1.5
