How to Change Your Wi-Fi Password

Change the password devices use to join your wireless network.

Quick Answer

Open your router or mesh-system administration page/app, find Wi-Fi or Wireless settings, change the password, and reconnect your devices.

Step by Step

  1. Connect to your home network.
  2. Open your router's administration interface using its local address or the manufacturer's management app.
  3. Sign in with the router administrator credentials.
  4. Open Wi-Fi, Wireless, or WLAN settings.
  5. Change the Wi-Fi password for the network you use.
  6. Save/apply the change.
  7. Reconnect phones, computers, TVs, printers, and smart devices using the new password.

If That Doesn't Work

  • The router administrator password and Wi-Fi password are different credentials.
  • Changing the Wi-Fi password disconnects devices that were using the old password.
  • If you do not know the router administrator credentials, check its label, documentation, or provider instructions before resetting anything.
