How To Change Router Password

Would you like to change the password of the Router? Changing your router password frequently is good approach to protect and secure the network and data from vulnerable threats. If you find any issue, you can connect to the Router Tech Support to get on the spot assistance. If you wish to change the router password, you should follow the instructions given below.

Open the router’s configuration page: Reach the router’s configuration page on a computer connected to the network. If you don’t know how to connect via Wi-Fi as you don’t remember the password, use an Ethernet cable to connect the computer directly to the router.

Enter the router username and password: To use the router innards, you require a username and password. If you have never changed the login credentials when you firstly configured the router, the username will be “admin” or “userAdmin” and the password will be “admin”, “password” or your current Wi-Fi’s password.

Go to the Wireless section: After signing into your router, you should search for the Wireless section of the configuration page. The specific name changes from manufacturer to manufacturer, but usually you are searching for a “Wireless” or “Wireless Settings/Setup” button. If the “Wireless” section has a lot of categories, then you should navigate to the Wireless Security page.

Change the password: Look for the box named as “Password”, “Passphrase” or “Shared Key”. Next, you need to type the new password in the given box. In few routers, you need to type the password twice for the verification. You should create a new password that is strong enough and should consist of numbers, random cases, and special characters such as “!”, “$” and “#”.

Find your security type: There are many main types of wireless encryptions such as WEP, WPA, and WPA2. For the premier secure network, you must use the WPA2. You are not allowed to use WEP, as the WEP encryption is very simple to break or find out.

Change your network name: You should change the user to change their network name if you have not changed it. The name must not include any personal information, as the name will be publicly broadcast.

Keep and apply your settings: After typing the new password, you need to click the save button placed at the top or bottom of the page. The router will take some time to change the password, and then the other device will disconnect automatically. After changing the settings, you can connect to the wireless network using a new password.

If still you have any doubt or query, then you should contact the Router Tech Support as it will offer simple and precise solutions at the time of need. Moreover, you can visit the help desk to resolve all your issues within a short span of time.
