I have been trying to setup a Netgear router in my Windows XP The setup
process asks for a username & password but it does not accept mine. I
disabled firewalls&and antiivirus with no results, The router is OK. I
succesful tested it in other computer . What should I do?

Hi
The Router needs to be setup one time and it can be done from any computer.
Once the Router is setup, computers can be added to it , nothing need to be
done on a new computer that involves setting the Router.

I tried that. Problem is: the router has to be connected to the computer at
which it was setup. After seting it up, can yo take it somewhre else without
the first computer?. I mean: I setup the router in any computer and move
it to a different one?

Hi
All the Routers that I used (and I used many) allow you to log onto from any
computer, provided that only one computer at the time is logged to the menus
IP.
Could be that your Router has some security menu that allow configuration
from one computer only (IP or MAC controlled). Check the manual, and or
look over all menu entries.

For example, my :Linksys router can disable management by a wireless
connected computer.

Back to the OP's original question:

Do you mean that you are trying to logon to the router?
If so, what the router software wants is the username and password that you
setup when you configured the router. There is no necessary relationship
between your windows password and your router password.

As for the OP's second question:

The answer is that you can certainly take the router to another network.
However, if during the installation of the router software, you entered some
local network specific things (such as allowable MAC addresses), you are not
apt to get far.


The OP needs to determine what username and password was enabled for the
router during setup if for no other reason that things need to be changed
every now and then.

More than likely, the OP made no such change and these two items remain at
the factory defaults. The fine router manual should tell the OP what the
factory default management username is and what the factory default password
is.
