NETGEAR CG3300D Default Password

CG3300D Default Password & Other Default Login Info

By , About.com Guide

Looking for the NETGEAR CG3300D default password? You probably have little reason to access your router on a regular basis so don't feel too bad if you've forgotten the CG3300D default password.

However, when you're troubleshooting a network problem and need to get in to the device, the CG3300D default password suddenly becomes very important.

For most versions of the NETGEAR CG3300D, the default password is password. As with most passwords, the CG3300D default password is case sensitive.

In addition to the CG3300D default password, you can also see the CG3300D default username and CG3300D default IP address in the table below.

Note: The NETGEAR CG3300D default password may be different for certain hardware or firmware versions.

If I have that information, I'll include the exact CG3300D version number along with the correct default password. You can usually find your NETGEAR CG3300D version number on the bottom of the router.

Be sure to change the default router password on your CG3300D to something more secure as soon as you're in. Then use a free password manager so you'll never forget your new CG3300D password.

Help! The CG3300D Default Password Doesn't Work!

At some point during the life of your particular NETGEAR CG3300D, the default password, username, and/or IP address might have been changed.

In most cases, if the NETGEAR CG3300D default IP address has been changed, the new IP address for the CG3300D will be the same as the default gateway IP address configured for your network connection.

See How To Find the Default Gateway IP Address for help.

In situations where the CG3300D default password or CG3300D default username has changed, you'll need to reset the NETGEAR CG3300D to factory defaults. You can usually do that via a special button or sequence of actions.

The CG3300D manual will have specific directions for performing a factory default reset. You can download the manual for the CG3300D from NETGEAR Support.

Please let me know if any of the CG3300D default login data below needs updated. For other questions about the CG3300D default information on this page, see my Default Password FAQ.
