Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1210 User Manual Protecting Access to Your Router For security reasons, the router has its own user name and password. Also, after a period of inactivity, the login automatically disconnects. The user name and password are not the same as a user name or password you might use to log in to your Internet connection. 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 uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Your password can be up to 30 characters. Changing the Built-In Password 1. To log in to the router, type http://www.routerlogin.net in the address field of your Internet browser. Enter admin for the user name and your password (or the default, password). Note: If you changed the password and do not remember what it is, you can reset the router to its factory default settings. See Restoring the Default Configuration and Password on page 91. 2. From the main menu, under Maintenance, select Set Password. 3. To change the password, first enter the old password, and then enter the new password twice. 4. Click Apply to save your changes. Note: After changing the password, you must log in again to continue the configuration. If you have backed up the router settings previously, you should do a new backup so that the saved settings file includes the new password. 54 | Chapter 4. Managing Your Network
