You can also change the password by the help of your smartphone, you’ll just need to follow the instruction given below.

So Let’s See

To change a password you’ll need to go through from three main steps and those are:

So, let’s start with the first one:

#1-CONNECTION

The main thing what we need to do first is to make a connection between your WiFi router and your computer device because all the configuration setting is saved in the router and for changing it we’ll need to connect it first.

If you’re using computer or laptop then you have two options to choose for connecting your WiFi router by the use of LAN cable or your internal WiFi signal adapter, whatever you’ve comfortable with. If you’re using your smartphone to change password then you should connect to your router by using your mobile WiFi feature.

[toggle title=”Click To See – The Reset Procedure If You Forgot Your WiFi Password” state=”close”] If you forgot your password and you are also not able to connect to your wireless network then reset your router by press the reset button on the back of your router for 5-10 sec, after resetting your router, connect it to your computer and do the above process to get the gateway IP.

#2- Open Router Page

After connecting your laptop or mobile device to the WiFi you’ll need to find the gateway IP address to open your router’s main page we are doing this because the router main configuration page is a web page installed in your router where you can make changes in settings, like password, time and date, security and many more.

The process of finding the Gateway IP address is different in very operating system so, I listed the process only for some famous operating systems as you can see below: [toggle title=”Click To See – How To Find IP In Windows Computer or Laptop” state=”close”] To find your Gateway IP Address you’ll have to connect the router to your computer. If you did connected your computer already to the WiFi, then open the “command prompt” feature on your computer by using the Windows + R key and type “cmd” command on it.

After that type “ipconfig” on cmd and press enter. Now you will able to see your wireless network gateway IP. If you’ve connected your router by LAN cable then the default gateway IP shown under the Ethernet adapter category in your CMD.

After that, select the “Network” setting in the “System Preferences” menu. In the Network setting, select the network adapter you’re interested in. Your IP address will appear in the right-hand pane of the window.

[/toggle] [toggle title=”Click To See – How To Find IP In Android Phone Or Computer” state=”close”] On your Android phone, press the menu button and go to the Settings -> WiFi settings. If you aren’t already connected to a WiFi network, then connect it now. Now your phone shows you some IP like “192.168.1.25” or maybe some other IP, it’s the IP address what your router gives to your phone and that means your router main gateway IP is 192.168.1.1, just change the last digit to 1 and that’s your router IP.

Press to select Settings from your Springboard. Select the WiFi from the Settings menu. Select your network if it isn’t already selected.
