Change WiFi password - how it works

There are many good reasons to change the WiFi password. Often, the given password is simply too complicated to remember. We show you how the change works for the most common devices.

Change the WiFi password on the router

• If you receive a new router from your Internet provider, the WLAN password is in many cases printed on the underside of the router. This can already be a security risk.
• It is therefore recommended to change the default password for the WLAN after setting up the router. In addition, you can probably also better remember your chosen password.
• Make sure that it is a really secure password. Use uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers. Your password becomes even more secure with special characters. The longer a password is, the more secure it is.
