How to Change Your Wi Fi Password and Name

Introduction

We have Wi-Fi networks almost everywhere, such as in our homes, workplaces, and other places. Some Wi-Fi networks are for public usage and can provide data service to numerous users. On the other hand, some private Wi-Fi networks have limited access since they have password protection. This is why we can not connect to a secure network without authentication. Hence it is necessary to secure them by changing their passwords regularly.

So in this article, we will get to know all about changing Wi-Fi Passwords and Names.

Steps to Change Your Wi-Fi Password

Step 1: Open the Login Panel for your Network.

Type 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1, 192.168.2.1, or 10.0.0.0.1 (for apple routers) in your web browser. These are the IPs for opening the login admin panel of the router. If one doesn’t work, you can try the other however they depend upon the parent company of your router; you can also search on the web for your router’s IP. Get an idea from this post. Once you see an interface as shown below where you can type a username and password, fill in your login details and you will be redirected to the login panel.
