How to change a wifi password
Wireless network is a popular and very comfortable thing. But often users do not think that Wi-Fi requires protection that is carried out by creating an access key.
You can ignore this option to set the router, but then the likelihood is that your benevolence, and at the same time and Wi-Fi network will actively use the neighbors.
Setting up WiFi on Byfly or any other provider, you had to encounter the need to set a password. But it is still better to get acquainted again with the procedure for action so that your security key becomes a truly serious barrier from unauthorized network connection.
Log in to the router settings
First you need to get into the router interface. It is usually available at 192.168.0.1, which must be scored in the browser. But sometimes it happens that the address is somewhat different: 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.2. Refine this parameter is easy: it is enough to flip the router and carefully read the information presented on its package.
There is also a software way to find out the main gateway of the router:
- Run the Windows command prompt.
- Dial the "Ipconfig / All" command.
- Find the "Main Gateway" in the report and see the address.
Installation of the password
If you yourself configured the D-Link DIR-300 router, then you can figure out where the password is installed, you can easily. Users who came in at least once in the interface of their router will freely find the desired security settings.
So, if you have a D-link DIR-300 with a firmware 1.4.x or later models (interface in dark colors), select the "Advanced Settings" point at the bottom of the Administration Page.
For earlier versions of the firmware (blue interface), the order of work is changing insignificant:
Solving how it is better to configure the TP Link TL WR842ND router, users also get up to install an individual wireless access key. To set the password, you need:
Security key installed. But if he becomes accidentally known to third parties, then you will need an instruction how to change the wifi password.
Changing the security key
The process of changing the password to a more complex is fully identical to the procedure of its initial installation. You will also need to go to the router interface and open the security parameters. Next, you need to write a new security key in the field with an existing password, and then save the changes.
By the way, since you decided to protect your network as much as possible, change the name of your access point.
You can do this in the "SSID" line, which is in the general network settings. Do not use your personal data in the title connection, otherwise they will be visible to everyone who is within the network.
Recommendations
Try to come up with a password that is difficult to choose: no consecutive numbers, your name or date of birth. It is better not to use simple words at all, but to create a security key from the character set, changing the register and diluting the letters with numbers.
Try to enter the router web interface from the device that connects to the router using an Ethernet cable. The Wi-Fi network will be disconnected after some operations, and therefore you have to re-enter the router settings several times.
If you changed the password to access the router, but you cannot remember the new security key, reset the device settings to factory.
This is done by pressing the RESET button on the router housing. Sometimes the Reset function is presented not in the form of a button, but as a small narrow recess. To reset the settings, it is necessary to insert something thin in this deepening, for example, a needle or pin.
If the WPA2 security standard is not supported, select the WPA method when installing security key. It is not necessary to install the WEP standard: it is considered obsolete and easily wakes up using modern programs.
