Change User Name

[Cheezy]

Can someone tell me how to change the user name (from admin) on my WNDR3700?

Thanks

I should have given more information in my first post.

I have a WNDR3700 and when you access the router via 192.168.1.1

the default user name is admin
the default password is password

I've changed the password but I would like to change the user name too. I couldn't use the setup CD (and I really don't need it) because I'm running Vista 64bit and the disk doesn't support Vista 64bit. Can someone tell me how I can change the user name from admin to something else?

Thanks

you can not..... only in prosafe router can you ADD user but not with home end unit

Really? This is my first Netgear router and I could change the user name with any of my Linksys routers I would think it would be something Netgear would recommend changing. It's not deal killer but it would be nice to NOT have everyone in the world knowing the user name.

Sorry jmizoguchi I was typing my second post when you replied.

Would using dd-wrt allow it?
