How Do I Change My Password on My WiFi Account?

Published in Networking 2 mins read

To change your WiFi password, you'll need to access your router's settings. The exact steps may vary depending on your router's brand and model. Here's a general guide:

1. Find Your Router's IP Address:

  • Open your web browser and type "192.168.1.1" or "192.168.0.1" in the address bar. These are common default IP addresses for routers.
  • If these addresses don't work, check your router's documentation or look for a sticker on the router itself.

2. Log In to Your Router:

  • You'll be prompted to enter your router's username and password. These are often "admin" and "admin" or "password."
  • If you've changed them previously, use your saved credentials.
  • If you don't know your router's login information, you may need to reset your router to its factory settings. This will erase all your current settings, so be sure to back up any important configurations.

3. Locate the WiFi Settings:

  • Once you're logged in, navigate to the "Wireless" or "WiFi" settings section. This may be under a "Setup" or "Advanced" tab.
  • Find the option to change the "Wireless Network Name" (SSID) and "Wireless Security Key" (password).

4. Enter Your New Password:

  • Enter your desired new password. Make sure it's strong and unique.
  • Confirm the password by entering it again.
  • Save your changes.

5. Connect to Your WiFi Network:

  • Disconnect from your current WiFi network and reconnect using your new password.

Remember: Changing your WiFi password will require all connected devices to reconnect using the new password.
