As you've discovered most newer routers have an HTML interface accessed  
via their IP address (the most popular appears to be 192.168.1.1) the  
newer netgear models also have a Device Name stamped on the botton of them  
something like NETGEARnnnXXn and you can tap this is as well to gain  
access. Deafult login details are normally the pathetic "admin"/"password"  
or sometimes "admin"/"admin" there really aren't many combinations to try.  
The last one I messed with I don't think I even bothered installing the  
disc that came with it.
