NETGEAR routers typically have a default password of password and a default IP address of 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1. However, as the table below shows, there are many exceptions.

Below is a list of default usernames, passwords, and IP addresses for various NETGEAR models that I obtained directly from official sources: user manuals and support pages. If you don't see your NETGEAR device listed here, the defaults listed don't work, you need help changing the password once you're in, or you have other questions, more help is below the table.

[1] These NETGEAR switches have default IP addresses assigned via DHCP, which means that the IP address will be different depending on the network the switches are installed on, information you can get by checking the dynamic IP address assigned to it by the DHCP server (often the router on the network). The IP address listed next to some of the DHCP assigned default IP addresses in the table above are the default IP addresses if there is no DHCP device on the network or if there was a problem assigning an IP.

[2] The NETGEAR FSM726 network switch comes in three hardware versions. Versions 1 and 2 have a default password of 1234, while version 3 does not require a default password at all (leave it blank) and has a backup default IP of 169.254.100.100 in case there is no automatic assignment by a DHCP server.
