NETGEAR provides internet broadband connectivity. Usually, a broadband has two IP address, one communicates locally and the other one communicates with networks outside the local one (The internet). The one connects locally we call it private IP address and the other one is public IP address.

 If you've never changed the local address, and especially if the router was bought new, this IP address is considered the "default IP address" because it's the one supplied by the manufacturer.

When first setting up a router, the administrator must know this address in order to connect to its console. This typically works by pointing a web browser to the IP address.

The internet provider supplies the public address and the private address is used by the administrator. The private address the supplier provide is the default IP address.
