Choosing your Wi-Fi password
We recommend you use a password that is a combination of:

• Minimum 8 characters
• Minimum 1 lower and 1 uppercase letter
• Numbers
• Symbols

Steps

Please note: When you log into your modem's web management page for the first time, the setup wizard gives you the option to change the Wi-Fi name and password.

1. Open a browser and go to 192.168.1.1

2. Enter your password

   

   Note: The default password is listed on the modem sticker

3. From the top-menu, click Wi-Fi Settings

   

   The Wi-Fi Basic Settings screen appears

4. Optional step: Click 5GHz preferred to have devices automatically switch between 5GHz and 2Ghz

   This option combines the two Wi-Fi bands into one for simplicity.

   Alternatively, you can separate them out into 2.4GHz and 5Ghz Bands. Separating them out means that the Wi-Fi names and passwords can be configured individually

   

5. In the 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi sections, update your Wi-Fi name and Wi-Fi password

   

6. Click Save
