NETGEAR - Block Access to Internet Sites and Services Using Smart Wizard

To use the Block Sites feature:

1. On the computer which is connected to the router, launch an internet browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, etc).
2. Visit http://www.routerlogin.net. If http://www.routerlogin.net does not work, try the following:
   
   • http://www.routerlogin.com
   • http://192.168.1.1
   • http://192.168.0.1
   • http://10.0.0.1  
     
     Note: If you need additional assistance with router login, see How do I login to my NETGEAR home router? or What is the IP address of my NETGEAR router?.
     
     
3. You are prompted to enter a username and password. Enter the following default login credentials:
   Note: username and password are both case sensitive
   
   • Username: admin
   • Password: password
     

   Note: If the default login credentials do not work, you might have changed the admin password. If you cannot remember your new password, you must perform a factory reset to restore the router to its factory default settings. For more information, see Restoring a NETGEAR home router to the factory default settings

To use the Block Services feature:

Note: This router feature can be used to prevent access to certain websites based on the communication protocol (HTTP, FTP, HTTPS, RDP, and so on) that the site communicates on. The blocking can be applied to all users, or only to specified users, based on the IP addresses of their computers. All sites using the specified protocol will be blocked. 

1. Under Content Filtering, click Block Services.
