To change your WiFi password, you typically need to access your router's settings through a web browser. Here are the general steps to do it:
- Connect your device to the router via WiFi or Ethernet.
- Open a web browser and enter your router's IP address in the address bar. Common IP addresses are 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1.
- Log in with your router's username and password. This info is often on a label on the router or in its manual. Default usernames and passwords can be admin/admin or user/useradmin if not changed.
- Once logged in, go to the wireless or WLAN settings section.
- Find the WiFi password field (sometimes called Network Key or Security Key), delete the current password, and enter your new password.
- Save/apply the changes.
- Restart the router if needed.
After changing the password, you will have to reconnect your devices with the new password. If the current password is forgotten and you cannot log in, you may need to reset your router by holding the reset button for about 10 seconds to restore factory settings. These steps apply mainly via the router interface; changing the saved WiFi password on your device (like Windows) only updates the stored password for connecting—actual changes must be done on the router. Let me know if instructions for a specific device or router brand are needed.
