NETGEAR GS724TPS Default Password

GS724TPS Default Password & Other Default Login Info

By , About.com Guide

Looking for the NETGEAR GS724TPS default password? You probably have little reason to access your switch on a regular basis so don't feel too bad if you've forgotten the GS724TPS default password.

However, when you're troubleshooting a network problem and need to get in to the device, the GS724TPS default password suddenly becomes very important.

For most versions of the NETGEAR GS724TPS, the default password is password. As with most passwords, the GS724TPS default password is case sensitive.

In addition to the GS724TPS default password, you can also see the GS724TPS default username and GS724TPS default IP address in the table below.

Note: The NETGEAR GS724TPS default password may be different for certain hardware or firmware versions.

If I have that information, I'll include the exact GS724TPS version number along with the correct default password. You can usually find your NETGEAR GS724TPS version number on the bottom of the switch.

Be sure to change the default switch password on your GS724TPS to something more secure as soon as you're in. Then use a free password manager so you'll never forget your new GS724TPS password.

Help! The GS724TPS Default Password Doesn't Work!

At some point during the life of your particular NETGEAR GS724TPS, the default password, username, and/or IP address might have been changed.

For most networks, if the NETGEAR GS724TPS default IP address has been changed, the new IP address for the GS724TPS switch can be determined using tracert, a command available from the Command Prompt in Windows.

See How To Identify Network Hardware IP Addresses on a Local Network if you need help using tracert to find the GS724TPS default IP address.

In situations where the GS724TPS default password or GS724TPS default username has changed, you'll need to reset the NETGEAR GS724TPS to factory defaults. You can usually do that via a special button or sequence of actions.

The GS724TPS manual will have specific directions for performing a factory default reset. You can download the manual for the GS724TPS from NETGEAR Support.

Please let me know if any of the GS724TPS default login data below needs updated. For other questions about the GS724TPS default information on this page, see my Default Password FAQ.

GS724TPS Default Password & Other Default Login Data

Version Default Username Default Password Default IP Privileges
All [none] password DHCP1 or 192.168.0.2392 Administrator

[1] DHCP is enabled by default on the GS724TPS. As long as a DHCP server is available when the GS724TPS is powered on, the switch will receive a dynamic IP address. See How To Identify Network Hardware IP Addresses on a Local Network if you need help finding this IP address.

[2] If the GS724TPS switch is powered on but no DHCP server is available, it will assign itself the static IP address of 192.168.0.239.
