“—” means there is no factory value: the field is left empty or a unique password is printed on the router’s label.
Default credentials work only until someone changes them. If none of these pairs fits, the password was changed; a factory reset restores the default.

How to log in to a NETGEAR router
- Connect to the router by Wi-Fi or with a cable to a LAN port. Turn off mobile data and any VPN on the device.
- Open routerlogin.net in the browser’s address bar.
routerlogin.comworks the same way. If neither opens, type the IP address: 192.168.1.1 after a reset, or 192.168.0.1 on some models. - Sign in with the username
adminand the admin password. On a router that has never been set up, the password ispassword. - Change the password when the setup wizard asks. Recent firmware also offers security questions, so a forgotten password can be recovered without a reset.
Orbi, Nighthawk and other NETGEAR lines
- Orbi mesh systems use orbilogin.com instead of routerlogin.net. Settings are changed on the Orbi router; satellites follow it.
- Nighthawk and Orbi apps sign you in with a NETGEAR account. That account is separate from the admin password of the web page; changing one does not change the other.
- Cable modem-routers (C- and CAX-series) supplied for an internet plan often carry their own admin password on the label. Check it before resetting.
routerlogin.net opens the NETGEAR website
The name routerlogin.net only reaches the router when your device is connected to it. From any other network the same address opens a NETGEAR help page, which usually means the phone or laptop has jumped to another Wi-Fi network or to mobile data. Reconnect to the router’s network, or type the IP address directly. A browser that keeps an old page in its cache can also be the cause: try a private window.
Forgot the password: factory reset
With the router switched on, press and hold the Reset (or Restore Factory Settings) button with a paper clip for about 7 seconds, then release it. The router restarts with admin / password, the address 192.168.1.1 and the Wi-Fi name and key printed on its label. All your settings, including the internet connection details, are erased.
NETGEAR: frequently asked questions
What is the default NETGEAR router password?
The username is admin and the factory password is password. The setup wizard asks you to replace it on first login.
What is the NETGEAR router IP address?
192.168.1.1 after a factory reset; some models and ISP units use 192.168.0.1. routerlogin.net finds the router at either address.
Why does routerlogin.net not work?
The device is not connected to the NETGEAR router, or it uses mobile data or a VPN. Connect to the router’s Wi-Fi and try again, or open the IP address instead.
How do I log in to an Orbi?
Open orbilogin.com while connected to the Orbi network, or use the Orbi app.
