Changing your Netgear router's admin password is a crucial step in securing your home network. Follow these simple steps to update your router's password:

2. Enter your router's admin username and password. The default credentials are typically 'admin' for both the username and password.
3. Navigate to the 'Settings' or 'Maintenance' section of the router's web interface.
4. Look for the option to change the admin password. This can usually be found under 'Administration' or 'Security' settings.
5. Enter your current admin password, then create and confirm a new, strong password. Make sure to use a mix of letters, numbers, and special characters for better security.
6. Save your changes and log out of the router's web interface. Your admin password is now updated.

Remember to keep your new admin password safe and never share it with unauthorized users to protect your network from cyber threats.
