NETGEAR WGR826V Default Password

WGR826V Default Password & Other Default Login Info

By , About.com Guide

Looking for the NETGEAR WGR826V 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 WGR826V default password.

However, when you're troubleshooting a network problem and need to get in to the device, the WGR826V default password suddenly becomes very important.

For most versions of the NETGEAR WGR826V, the default password is password. As with most passwords, the WGR826V default password is case sensitive.

In addition to the WGR826V default password, you can also see the WGR826V default username and WGR826V default IP address in the table below.

Note: The NETGEAR WGR826V default password may be different for certain hardware or firmware versions.

If I have that information, I'll include the exact WGR826V version number along with the correct default password. You can usually find your NETGEAR WGR826V version number on the bottom of the router.

Be sure to change the default router password on your WGR826V to something more secure as soon as you're in. Then use a free password manager so you'll never forget your new WGR826V password.

Help! The WGR826V Default Password Doesn't Work!

At some point during the life of your particular NETGEAR WGR826V, the default password, username, and/or IP address might have been changed.

In most cases, if the NETGEAR WGR826V default IP address has been changed, the new IP address for the WGR826V 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 WGR826V default password or WGR826V default username has changed, you'll need to reset the NETGEAR WGR826V to factory defaults. You can usually do that via a special button or sequence of actions.

The WGR826V manual will have specific directions for performing a factory default reset. You can download the manual for the WGR826V from NETGEAR Support.

Please let me know if any of the WGR826V default login data below needs updated. For other questions about the WGR826V default information on this page, see my Default Password FAQ.
