I cant remember how to get into a netgear w/o paperwork, which y9ou should have
- once inside see if the password it came with works, if so change it as the
whole world knows that p-word. if you cannot obviously your tech did and you
should find out from him what it is . . . maybe someone on here has a netgear
or is fimular enough with one to walk you thru.
