You can restore theNetgear back to the default settings by -
Power up the Netgear, then press and hold the RESET button until the test LEDturns on (approx. 10 secs) then release the RESET button and wait for therouter to reboot.
Connect a LAN cable from the Netgear to the LAN port on your computer, open abrowser 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 the wireless settings.

a small pin hole in the back of router - use a paper pin or clip and push it inside the pinhole - you will feel a click - once you feel the click hold it for 20 secs and release - reset will be done

All you need to do is follow the steps below.
1. plug in a computer to one of the LAN ports on the WPN824
2. plug in your modem to the WAN or internet port on the WPN824
3. Turn on your netgear box.
4. Wait for the power light to get steady.
5. Go to your computer. Open internet browser and type http://routerlogin.com .
6. username is admin , password is password. If the default account details didnt work. reset the router for 30 secs and then try again the username and password.
7. go to basic settings. Here you will setup the internet on your router, it depends to your ISP.

If you can go this page, that means your router is still working .

please follow some which can solved you issue

1. Make sure router is connected to power supply and is on while you perform the task below. At the rear panel of the router, near the antenna, there is a very small round pinhole that contains the reset button.
2. Using a pen/pencil/paper clip, hold the reset button for 60 sec. so that the test light starts flashing.
3. After few seconds when the test light stops flashing. Turn off the router and turn it back on after a couple of minutes.

Hi
As i can see that you have mentioned that the firmware upgrade was interrupted & now u can not access the router. Now you can try the following troubleshooting steps
1) press in the reset hole on the back of the router for 10-15 secs.
If it doesn't work
2) press in the reset hole for 10 secs & while pressing the hole take the power cable out, while still pressing the whole put the power cable back in &release the hole.
3) turn off the router for 1-2 mins & then turn it on.....& if the same problem persists that means that the router has gone faulty. You have to buy a new router or get it replaced from NETGEAR.

Thank You

Don't tell me you tried to upload the firmware from a wireless connection.

It's probably bricked. You could act stupid and send it back to Netgear, claiming it just died...(it did right?) and in the meanwhile, Staples is selling 624's for $40 this week.

Since you already tried steps 1 thru 4, give steps 5 and on a try


Write down configuration information such as IP addresses, security keys, opened ports and services, etc., that you modified. (The default username is admin and the password is either password or 1234. Try these before resetting the router.)

1. Press the reset button on the back until the test light blinks. This takes about 10 seconds. (To avoid accidental resets, the small button is recessed. Use a pen or paperclip to access it.)
2. Release the button.
3. Wait for the router to reboot.
4. Log in with the default password. If the router was not cleared, try these additional steps AFTER the router has finished rebooting.
   
5. Unplug the router's power.
6. Press and hold the reset button. While the button is held down, reconnect router's power.
7. Continue to hold the reset button for 20 seconds after reconnecting the power.
8. Wait for the router to reboot.
9. Log in with the default password.

You can reset the unit to factory logon on you manual by pressing the reset button for 15 sec on the rear of the unit.
