NETGEAR DG834N Default Password

DG834N Default Password & Other Default Login Info

By , About.com Guide

Looking for the NETGEAR DG834N 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 DG834N default password.

However, when you're troubleshooting a network problem and need to get in to the device, the DG834N default password suddenly becomes very important.

For most versions of the NETGEAR DG834N, the default password is password. As with most passwords, the DG834N default password is case sensitive.

In addition to the DG834N default password, you can also see the DG834N default username and DG834N default IP address in the table below.

Note: The NETGEAR DG834N default password may be different for certain hardware or firmware versions.

If I have that information, I'll include the exact DG834N version number along with the correct default password. You can usually find your NETGEAR DG834N version number on the bottom of the router.

Be sure to change the default router password on your DG834N to something more secure as soon as you're in. Then use a free password manager so you'll never forget your new DG834N password.

Help! The DG834N Default Password Doesn't Work!

At some point during the life of your particular NETGEAR DG834N, the default password, username, and/or IP address might have been changed.

In most cases, if the NETGEAR DG834N default IP address has been changed, the new IP address for the DG834N 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 DG834N default password or DG834N default username has changed, you'll need to reset the NETGEAR DG834N to factory defaults. You can usually do that via a special button or sequence of actions.

The DG834N manual will have specific directions for performing a factory default reset. You can download the manual for the DG834N from NETGEAR Support.
