How To Change Router Password

Want to know the hassle-free procedure to change the password of the Router? Changing the router password frequently is a key to protect your network and your data. If you find any issue, you are free to reach the Router Tech Support. To change the router password, you have to go through the procedure below.

Visit the router's configuration page:

The user can access the router's configuration page using a web browser on a computer connected to the network. If you are unable to connect via Wi-Fi as you don't remember the password, use an Ethernet cable to connect the computer directly to the router.

Give the router username and password:

To access the router innards, you require a username and password. If you have never changed the login credentials when you first configured the router, the username will be "admin" or "userAdmin" and the password will be "admin", "password" or your existing Wi-Fi's password.

Launch the Wireless section:

Once you are signed into your router, you have to search for the Wireless section of the configuration page. The exact name changes from manufacturer to manufacturer, but usually you are looking for a "Wireless" or "Wireless Settings/Setup" tab or button. If the "Wireless" section has a lot of subsections, then you need to open the Wireless Security page.

Change the password:

Go and look for the box labelled as "Password", "Passphrase" or "Shared Key". Now, you can type your new password in the required box. In some routers, you have to type the password twice for the verification purpose. Make sure you create a password that is strong enough and should consist of numbers, random cases, and special characters such as "!", "$" and "#".

Look at your security type:

We have three main types of wireless encryptions such as WEP, WPA, and WPA2. For the best secure network, you must use the WPA2. You should not use WEP, as the WEP encryption is very easy to break or find out.

Change your network name:

It is advised to the user to change their network name if you have not done it. The name should not consist of any personal information, as the name will be publicly broadcast.

Save your settings:

After entering the new password, you need to tap the Apply or Save button. The button is mostly situated at the top or bottom of the page. The router will take a few seconds to change the password, and at that moment any other device will automatically be disconnected. Once the settings are changed, you can easily connect to your wireless network with the help of a new password.
