anyone know how to change it?

I think one of the Spanish girls staying with us has told the neighbours our code

Put http://192.168.1.1 into your browser address bar. That should take you to the router setup. Username is usually admin and password is admin.

Go into the WiFi setup and you should find the option to change the password.

thanks Fred - my dd has found a youtube tutorial & is trying - if that doesn't work I'll have a go with your link

still no luck - either with youtube or your link Fred

Lynnxa, mine is 192.168.2.1 if that makes a difference

Is it that you can't log in to the router or just that you can't change the password?

where did you find that number?

I just want to change the password to stop the boy we think has it logging in

That's the number I put in the address bar to access the router.

They're fairly standard, but if neither Fred's nor mine work for you there are ways to find it on your own eg try here http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you...router_address

Once you log into the router you can edit the settings, including password.

thanks

I now know that mine is the same as Fred's - and playing around with names & passwords I have changed it!!!



shall I tell the kids or not

no for they will give it to their friends again..

If they are using WiFi devices they will quickly know that you have changed the password as they won't be able to connect.

When they ask for the new one just take their device and key it in yourself. They shouldn't be able to find it. If they are really clever they will know how to access your router so change that username and password as well.

that's what I meant - shall I tell them the new code

now that I know how to change it - I have another punishment up my sleeve

btw - it was 1234 & 1234 - not admin & admin, for anyone else who needs to know

No don't tell them, as I said if they need it on their device get them to get it to the point of entering the new password and do it for them. It will be remembered so you shouldn't need to do it again.

Make sure it is a good long alphanumeric password or it could be hacked.

Yes router username/passwords are usually either admin or 1234 - mine isn't a Telefonica router and it uses admin as the default.

As I said, change that as well.

ooh I can change that too?

I shall have a play on my next day off

Don't forget that if someone can inspect the back of your router they can simply use the code shown there to connect remotely.

Wouldn't think you can change that.

Of course you can change it - that's what this thread is all about.
