How to Change Your WiFi Name and Password
The first thing you should do when you get a new WiFi router is change your network’s default name and password. Even if you’ve already changed your password, the Wi-Fi Alliance recommends you change it at least once a year. Here’s everything you need to know about how to change your WiFi network’s name and password on a Windows or Mac computer.
Note: If you forgot your WiFi password, you can always find it using your computer, as long as it’s connected to the same wireless network. Check out our step-by-step guides on how to find your WiFi password on Windows and how to find any passwords on a Mac.
Before you can change your WiFi name and password, you need to log in to your router. In order to do that, you need to know your router’s IP address and login information.
