To change the WiFi password or the WiFi security:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window displays.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified when you set
up your router. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select Wireless.
The Wireless Setup page displays.
5. To change the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, or 6 GHz WiFi password, enter a new password in
the Password (Network Key) field.
The password is a phrase of 8 to 63 alphanumeric characters or of exactly 64
hexadecimal characters.
NOTE: By default, your password is hidden. To display your password, click
the icon next to the Password field.
6. When Smart Connect is disabled, to change the WiFi security for the 2.4 GHz or
5 GHz WiFi network, select a Security Options radio button:
•
None: An open WiFi network does not provide any security. Any WiFi device can
join the WiFi network.
•
WPA2-Personal: When Smart Connect is disabled, this is the default setting for
the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi networks. WPA2-Personal provides a secure and fast
connection but some older WiFi devices do not detect WPA2 and support only
WPA. If your WiFi network includes these older devices, select WPA-Personal +
WPA2-Personal security.
•
WPA-Personal + WPA2-Personal: Enables WiFi devices that support either WPA
or WPA2 to join the WiFi network. However, WPA is less secure than WPA2 and
limits the speed of WiFi devices to 54 Mbps.
•
WPA3-Personal: Enables WiFi devices that support WPA3 to join the WiFi
network. WPA3 is the latest security standard, uses SAE encryption, and is more
secure than WPA2. If all devices on your WiFi network support WPA3, we
recommend that you use this type of security.
•
WPA2-Personal + WPA3-Personal: When Smart Connect is enabled (which it
is by default), this is the default setting for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi networks.
This type of security enables WiFi devices that support either WPA2 or WPA3 to
join the WiFi network. The security uses SAE and AES encryption. WPA2 (which
uses AES) is less secure than WPA3 (which uses SAE).
