Use this instruction to change the WiFi password that comes with your router by default. Cybersecurity experts advise updating your password on a regular basis so you can be sure nobody is actually accessing your router without authorization.
In addition, you should know how to make a strong password so that hackers or casual users cannot simply figure it out. Numerical figures, mixed symbols, and upper-and lowercase letters make up a strong WiFi password; nonetheless, to ensure that you don’t forget it, make sure you memorize it or keep it safely.
