I have Netgear wifi router in my home. I do not know the exact make but it has one Ethernet input, four Ethernet outputs and wifi. Last time i changed the password was about 3 years back. I had shared the password with many neighbours.
I am getting a huge data usage bill now hence i would like to change the password/reset the Wifi password as soon as possible. Can anybody please inform me the steps to reset the Wifi router and help me in getting out of this trouble?
