How to change your router’s name and password

You can change the name and password of your router, but if you do so, all wireless devices connected to your router will lose their Internet connection until you reconnect them using the new router name and password.

CAUTION

If you change your router’s name and password using the browser- based utility, you may not be able to manage your router using Cisco Connect. We recommend using the procedure below to change your router’s login information.

To change your router’s name and password:

1.Run Cisco Connect, then click Change under Router settings.

2.Under Personalize, click Change. A Changing router name and password warning appears

3.Click Yes if you want to continue.

4.Enter the new router name and password, then click Change.

TIP

After you make changes, update your Easy Setup Key to make it easier to reconnect all of the other computers on the network.
