So I just got set up with Comcast and they set up a new router, a Netgear CG814WG, which so far I'm really not liking. The people who came to set it up didn't seem to have any idea what they were doing and it took them hours to hook the damn thing up. I probably could have done a better job myself. Anyway, once the thing was set up I did the first thing I always do with new routers: I went in to change the password. That's where the trouble comes in.
By default the username is comcast, and the password 1234. I went in, changed the password and now can't get in at all with the new password I set up. It's frustrating me to no end. I'm 100% positive that I set the password right and that I'm putting it in right. The only thing I can think of is that it reset the username to something, too, but I've tried the usual: comcast, admin, administrator, blank, etc. So I was wondering if anyone here has dealed with this router before, and might be able to help me find out what the hell happened. Google was no help, and I figured I'd ask around before calling tech support, waiting on hold and talking to an idiot.
