Wireless router is a must-have for every household

Before changing the wireless router password, we need to know what passwords the wireless router has and what they are used for. The WiFi password is the exclusive password we set for our wireless network when setting up the wireless router. It can be distinguished from other wireless networks, ensuring that your device is connected to your home wireless router, preventing freeloading, and enhancing the security of the wireless router. The background password of the wireless router is generally printed on the nameplate at the bottom of the wireless router. The default password is very simple and has strong versatility. It is used to enter the system settings page of the wireless router, which can be said to be very important.

Change WiFi password

To change the WiFi password, you must first enter the system management backend. We can use the mobile wireless router management app, or enter the backend management address in the browser of the computer or mobile phone to enter the management backend. Find "Wireless Settings", and then you can see the password modification function. We recommend that you use the password format of "letters + numbers + symbols" and choose WPA2 and above encryption methods. Such passwords are least likely to be hacked.

Modify the backend management password

Next, to change the wireless router's management password, we need to find the "System Management" function in the management background. In the system management function, you can find the option to change the wireless router's management password. We recommend that you do not use the same password as the WiFi connection password as the router's management password. You need to set a more complex password separately. Many wireless routers will ask users whether to set the WiFi password as the management password during the initial setup. We recommend that the two passwords be separated to increase security.
