how to change wifi router password

To change a WiFi router password, follow these general steps:

1. Connect a device (computer or phone) to the router either via WiFi or Ethernet.
2. Open a web browser and enter the router’s default gateway IP address, typically something like 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1, into the address bar.
3. Log in to the router’s admin panel using the username and password. If not changed before, credentials are often "admin"/"admin" or printed on the router.
4. Navigate to the wireless or WiFi settings section, then to wireless security or password settings.
5. Enter a new strong password, ideally with a mix of uppercase, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
6. Save or apply the changes. The router will update the WiFi password, and you will need to reconnect all devices using the new password.

Security tip: Choose WPA2 or WPA3 as the security encryption method for better protection.
