Password
— no default —

You create this password the first time you set up the router. If you never changed it, factory-reset and set a new one.

Tri-band WiFi 6E flagship. The login name is admin, but there is no usable factory password — newer NETGEAR products force you to set the admin password on first setup (routerlogin.net or the Nighthawk app).

Factory reset

Insert a paperclip into the recessed Reset hole on the back and hold about 7 seconds until the Power LED blinks amber, then release; the AXE11000 reboots to factory defaults and prompts you to create the admin password during first-time setup.
