Change your home Wi-Fi password
A strong Wi-Fi password stops strangers using your internet.
Steps
- Look on the sticker on your modem/router for the admin address (often 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1), username and password.
- On a computer connected to your Wi-Fi, type that address into your web browser.
- Log in with the details from the sticker.
- Find Wireless or Wi-Fi settings and change the Wi-Fi password to a long phrase.
- Find Administration and change the admin password from the default.
- Reconnect your phone, tablet and TV with the new Wi-Fi password.
