How to change the names and passwords of WiFi networks
In order to change the names and passwords of the WiFi networks in your home, you need to be able to access your router’s settings.
If you’re unsure about how to access your router’s settings, check out the previous video I made that goes into detail about how to do this: https://youtu.be/qikC3qNeSK4
Once you’ve logged in to your router’s settings, you need to find the Wireless settings section. Depending upon the make and model of your router, accessing the wireless settings of your router may look different than the example I provided in the video above. With that said, once you access the wireless network settings of your router, it should be pretty straightforward to change your WiFi network names and passwords.
Once you’ve finished updating the WiFi network names and passwords for your router, select the save button. This will initiate the changes on your router.
Depending upon your router, it may take a minute or so for your WiFi network changes to complete. Once your router has been updated with these changes, the new WiFi network names will be available networks for your devices to connect to.
