If you have a device connected to the Wi-Fi router, you can change the wireless password by following the steps below:
Step 1
You will need your router's IP address. Typically, it is located under the router along with the username and password. If you are unable to locate it, follow these steps:
- Open your command prompt (You can do this by typing cmd into windows search and clicking on the command prompt application)
- Once open, type ipconfig and press enter
- Look through the results and find your default gateway. This is your router's IP address.
Step 2
Once you have located your router's IP address, open your web browser and put the IP address in the web address bar. This will bring you to a login screen where you will need to:
- Enter your username and password. *You can find this underneath your router.
- Once you are logged into the router, click on the wireless section, and then go through the settings until you see wireless security. Look for either a wireless passphrase or wireless security key. Next to these phrases is the Wi-Fi password.
- Delete whatever is in the box and input your new password.
- Before you click ok or save, please remember that once saved, all devices that are currently connected will need to re-connect with the new password.
