20 Most Recent NetGear DG834G Router - Page 6 Questions & Answers

Wireless Router settings:

It is usually easiest to run the install wizard, which you can get from the manufacturers' website, usually for free, but be sure to be ready to set the items listed below:

To get access, start your browser, and put 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1, or other address for your unit, into the ADDRESS bar (not search box) of your Internet Browser. Every unit has unique access login and passwords, some are admin with no password, some are admin and admin...seek access information from the website of the manufacturer of your unit. Look under support, downloads, drivers or similar sounding areas.

Things to set:

(Note: Routers are intended to be set by geeks. You have to SAVE EVERY page before you leave it, or the changes will be lost. A geek knows this (apparently). The router gives no protest...just dumps your changes. SAVE OFTEN.)

1. Login password (RECORD THIS!!). Consider taping to bottom of the router. Physical access is typically NOT the security issue.

2. Set a recognizable system ID (descriptive name is easier to find when you need to connect wirelessly).

3. Invoke wireless security of at least WEP.

a. Assign your own access code, 10 digit home or cell #. Consider taping this information to bottom of the router. (Physical access is usually not the security issue.)

4. Check that your router is set to broadcast its' presence.

5. Change the channel of the wireless to 11, and avoid conflict with landline cordless phones. (Big issue, even the neighbors can interrupt).

There are more secure settings available, all the way down to only allowing certain MAC addresses to have access. A MAC address is a digit unique to each and every network card. Like a fingerprint. Most users do not set mac address limits.

To bypass the Optus login page type in the address bar 10.1.1.1/CA_HiddenPage.htmIt will ask to disable the Optus login, accept, then close the page, open a new page and type in the address bar 10.1.1.1And you will be at the router loginUsername: admin password: passwordBest of luckAnthony

the username is blanktry the default password "admin" without quotation marksif it does not work it means you have changed it forgot your password, all you have to do next is to reset the router. but it will erase all settings such as ADSL username and password.to reset the router unplug the RJ11 (phone line connection) and then hold down the reset button for 10 seconds.

goto www.routerlogin.net and select wireless settings, your SSID (the name of your network) and the wep key (the security key to allow devices to connect to your network) will be listed there

If you found this info useful please vote for me

so then you can simply reset the router so to go back to its default password ...or if you want to know your recent password, simply use your computer that is currently connected to your router and is working...then follow the steps in this link http://netspace.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/netspace.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=508&p_created=1216184248 Configuring your Netgear DG834G & DG834GV Wireless Network
Note: you dont need to configure the wireless just check the password you have setup there so you can connect your ipad wirelessly...
Thats it!! (-_-)

The default password for this router is password

User name : admin
Pasword: password

With the above username and password you would be able to log in to the router's home page (default Gateway- GUI)

Then incase you require you can change the router password or the wireless security key.

# If the above password is not working it may be possible that u had already set up/ changed the password hence you will have to Hard reset the router for this to work.

# How to Hard Reset ? = Insert a paper clip or pen in the reset hole located near the ports of the router for 30-30 second while the router is powered on

The code is shown on the bottom of your router.

Does the router have wep encryption, if you entered the password wrong it wont len let you connect.

If you have set up a Secured Wireless networking connection and forget the password, you will need to reset the router by pressing the button on the back of the unit and holding for 10 seconds. Once the unit has been reset, you can then open a browser window and navigate to the IP address of the router, 192.168.0.1. The username is admin and the password is password. At this point you can connect to the router with an unsecured connection. While you are in the Admin section, tho, you can change whatever settings you like, including setting up a secure wireless connection.

Connect a LAN cable from the Netgear to the LAN port on yourcomputer, open a browser and enter the Netgear configuration URL -
http://192.168.0.1
The default login = admin
The default PW = password You can now change the admin password and configure thewireless settings.
Go to the wireless configuration and set up the SSID and WPA or WPA2encryption.
Apply these settings to the wireless card in your laptop/computer.

To secure your wireless network from unauthorized access, please click on thislink and follow my instructions :- http://www.fixya.com/support/r3559128-wireless_router_security

Assuming you're still using factory defaults:

open your browser to 192.168.0.1
username: admin
password: password

Hi,

Welcome to Fixya. If the internet light constantly flashing it can means that it has a problem with the connection. The phone use voice signal and the Internet use the Data signal and the problem that you have is with the Data signal that's why you don't have internet connections. And the Vioce signal is not affected that's why the phone is working properly

- You can try to power cycle the router by unplugging the power cable just to refresh the connection
- You can reset the router by pressing the small reset button at the back of the router using a pen or paper clip for 5-10 seconds
- You can call your ISP to check if there is a problem with the line. If the line is ok and you already did the 2 steps above it only means that the problem is the router.

If you have questions please Thanks for using Fixya.

Hit the red reset button on the back of the router this will reset to out of the box condition with no paswword you need a hair pin or paperclip to reach the reset

1. Log in to the DG834G firewall at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN address and password you have set up. 2. Click the Wireless Settings link in the main menu of the DG834G firewall. 3. Choose a suitable descriptive name for the wireless network name (SSID). In the SSID box, enter a value of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. The default SSID is Wireless. Note: The SSID of any wireless access adapters must match the SSID you configure in the DG834G Wireless ADSL Firewall Router. If they do not match, you will not get a wireless connection to the DG834G. 4. Set the Region. Select the region in which the wireless interface will operate. 5. Set the Channel. The default channel is 11. This field determines which operating frequency will be used. It should not be necessary to change the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with another nearby wireless router or access point. Select a channel that is not being used by any other wireless networks within several hundred feet of your firewall. For more information on the wireless channel frequencies please refer to "Wireless Channels" on page D-7. 6. For initial configuration and test, leave the Wireless Card Access List set to allow everyone access by making sure that "Turn Access Control On" is not selected in the Wireless Station Access List. In addition, leave the Encryption Strength set to "Disabled." 7. Click Apply to save your changes. 8. Configure and test your computers for wireless connectivity. Program the wireless adapter of your computers to have the same SSID and channel that you configured in the router. Check that they have a wireless link and are able to obtain an IP address by DHCP from the firewall.
Next, you will have to set your wireless key so that you can prevent everyone from accessing your router. To do this,
1. Log in at the default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1, with the default user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN address and password you have set up. 2. Click Wireless Settings in the Setup section of the main menu of the DG834G. 3. Choose the WPA-PSK radio button. The WPA-PSK menu will open. 4. Enter the pre-shared key in the Passphrase field. 5. Click Apply to save your settings.

This link will help you out for sure.. Check or Change Wireless Password

In case you have a protected Wi-Fi you have to use this password in order to connect your i-phone. If your Wi-Fi is unprotected (open to all) there is no need to use a password.
