Change the local device password
During the initial log-in process, when you followed the prompts of the Setup Wizard,
you specified the local device password (also referred to as the admin password). This
is the password that you use to log in to the access point with the user name admin.
You can change this password again.
We recommend that your password meets the following conditions:
•
Contains 8 to 32 characters
•
Contains no more than two identical characters in a row
In addition, we recommend that your password meets at least three of the following
four conditions:
•
At least one uppercase character
•
At least one lowercase character
•
At least one number
•
At least one special character, such as the following characters:
@ # $ % ^ & * ( ) !
To change the password for the user name admin for local login to the access point:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
access point network.
2.
Enter http//www.routerlogin.net in the address field.
If you are not connected to the access point network but to the same network as the
access point, enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point. If you do not
know the IP address, see Find the IP address of the access point when you cannot
use routerlogin.net on page 27.
A login window displays.
If your browser does not display the login window but displays a security message
and does not let you proceed, see Log in to the access point after initial setup on
page 30.

The local device password is the one that you specified. The local device password
is case-sensitive.
