How do I change my Wi-Fi password?
Open a browser on a device connected to the network, type your router's address (usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1), log in (the default password is on a sticker under the router), and find Wireless Settings → Security. Change the password, save, and reconnect each device.

How do I find my router's IP?

What if I forgot the admin password?
Press and hold the reset pinhole on the back of the router for 10 seconds. It returns to factory defaults; you'll need to set Wi-Fi up again.
