resetting Netgear router via a different PC?
I have a Netgear wireless router - this model..
Answer
- it currently runs all my household connections very well, but I have a problem..
Currently the router software is set up via a laptop running Vista - this was done at initial install and I can't for the life of me, remember the password used..
I now want to remove this connection and software from the laptop and move it to another desktop PC running Windows 7
could someone explain the steps required, so that I may succesfully make this transfer to the new PC..
I still have the original set-up CD and user guide, etc
I understand that an ethernet cable connection must be made between the desktop and the router in order to facilitate initial set-up..
and I guess that somewhere along the way, I must reset the default password to the initial factory settings..
I'm a complete dunce when it comes to routers, the jargon puts me off - so a clear step by step guide to this process would assist me greatly, bearing in mind that I will be entering new passwords, upon completion of the switch over....
