og in to the wireless modem router with the user name admin . 
This procedure is not the same as changing the password for wireless acc\

 fect.
Password Recovery
NETGEAR recommends that you enable password recovery if you change the p\
assword for 
the router’s user name of admin. Then you have an easy way to recover the password if it is 
forgotten. This recovery process is supported in Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome 
browsers, but not in the Safari browser.

To set up password recovery:

Select the Enable Password Recovery check box.
2.  Select two security questions and provide answers to them.
3.  Click  Apply to save your changes.
When you use your browser to access the router, the login window displays. If password 
recovery is enabled, when you click Cancel, the password recovery proces\
s starts. 
 You can 
then enter the saved answers to the security questions to recover the pa\
ssword.  
Diagnostics
You can perform various diagnostics. For normal operation, these tests ar\
e not required.
To perform diagnostic tests:
1.  Select  ADV
 ANCED > Administration > Diagnostics.
2. Perform the following diagnostics as needed:
• Ping an IP address or Host Name . Use this test to send a ping packet request to the 
specified IP address or host name. 
 This test is often used to test a connection. If the 
request times out (in other words, no reply is received), this result \
usually means that 
the destination is unreachable. Note, however, that some network devices can be 
configured not to respond to a ping.
• Perform a DNS Lookup. 
 A DNS (Domain Name Server) converts the Internet name 
(for example, www.netgear.com) to an IP address. If you need the IP address of a 
web, FTP, mail, or other server on the Internet, do a DNS lookup to find the IP \
address.
•  Display the Routing T
 able. This operation displays the internal routing table.

•Reboot the Router. Click this button to perform a remote restart of the router. Use 
this operation if the router seems to have become unstable or is not operating 
normally.
Note:Rebooting breaks any existing connections either to the router (such 
as this one) or through the router (for example, LAN users accessing 
the Internet). However, connections to the Internet are automatically 
reestablished when possible.
