Hello friends! It's time for another useful article :). Today I want to tell you about how to change the name for the Wi-Fi network (SSID) on the router.
I think that such advice will be useful and useful to many. In the process of configuring the router, it is not always possible to change the name of the network, and it remains set by the router default.
But, when you are already starting to actively use the wireless Internet, you begin to notice that the neighbors have a network called “musya”, “darling”, “kukusya”, and you have some kind of “Tp-link ...”.
Disorder :). Let's fix it now!
Change the name of the wireless Wi-Fi network
Let's look at this process first on a Tp-link router .
We need to go to the router settings. If you don’t know how to do this, then I’ll tell you: connect the router to the computer, it’s best to network cable.
We went to the tinctures and immediately go to the tab Wireless – Wireless Settings.
Opposite point Wireless Network Name come up with and write down a new name. And push the button Save to save the results. Reload your router.
Everything is ready.
Now let's see how to do it all on Asus router .
Go to your router settings. The process itself is practically no different from what I described for Tp-link (see above).
In the control panel, go to the tab Wireless network.
And at the very top, opposite the point SSID enter a new name for your network. Click the button Apply(bottom).
An important point. If you already had devices connected to the router via a wireless network, then after changing the network name, delete the old connections and reconnect. And that may be a problem. See the article for more details.
Now almost everyone in the house has a Wi-Fi network. Modern market full of variety portable devices- laptops and netbooks, smartphones, e-books and tablets. Connecting wifi is much easier than running a cable network. This technology is simple and easy to set up. This article addresses the question of how to rename or change the WiFi connection password on the router.
Rekeying is required if your network is hacked and you notice unknown devices in the list of connections. If the connection speed has dropped sharply, you can also try changing the protection. And if you want to protect yourself as much as possible and protect yourself from the possibility of a second attack, change the Wi-Fi name at the same time.
Control interface
Each router manufacturer creates its own settings window interface. Some of them are intuitive, others turned out to be unsuccessful and too cumbersome. To change any parameter, first you need to go to the router control panel:
WiFi settings
All further actions depend on the manufacturer. You need to find a section called "Wireless", "Wireless Network" or "WiFi". This category can either be located in the main menu or be a tab of some section, for example, “Network” or “Network”. Try to open different menu items and find the page you need.
Everything necessary settings Wi-Fi can also be collected in one place, or categorized, such as "Basic" (Basic Settings) and "Security" (Security). The parameters you are interested in are the network name (SSID) and password (Key or Passphrase).
In no case do not specify the same name and key from Wi-Fi. Such combinations are checked by crackers in the first place. The best option is to rename to a set of letters and numbers, using lower and upper case. You can even enter a random sequence of characters and write it down on the router so you don't lose it. Thus, you will secure your WiFi network as much as possible from intruders.
Many people are interested in the question of how to change the password on a D-Link router. I have to introduce the owners of the routers of this company. And since D-Link is very popular, I think the article will be useful and relevant. I have enter password change to wifi network. Simply, the router has another password that is used when entering the settings. Also, the question of changing the password on D-Link is very popular, if the password is from WiFi already successfully forgotten. Try to deal with this problem.
Why change the password for a wireless network? Yes, there are different cases. For example, someone hacked your Wi-Fi, you noticed that some strange devices are connected to your router, or maybe you just gave your Wi-Fi password to a neighbor, and then changed your mind :) We change the password, and that's it, no one will connect to your network anymore. Always try to install a complex key that will be difficult to pick up. If someone connects to your router, then he will not only be able to use your Internet (which is not very scary), but also be able to access your local network. And this, perhaps, is already your files and personal information.
Well, try to remember the passwords that you set. Or write them down.
Change password on D-Link
As usual, we need to go to the router settings. This is how it is done: connect to the router (via cable or Wi-Fi), in the browser we type the address 192.168.0.1 , specify the login and password. By default, D-Links have this admin and admin. Or, . The standard data for entering the settings is indicated at the bottom of the router.
In the settings, go to the tab WiFi/Security Settings and in the field
If you do not configure anything else, then save the settings. This is done by clicking on the link. System and choose Reload. Like this:
Restart your router (power off and on). Now, to connect to your Wi-Fi network will be used New password that you have set. If after this procedure your devices refuse to connect to Wi-Fi, then you just need to delete your network on the device and connect to it again. Below, I will write about it in more detail.
How to change the password on Wi-Fi if you forgot the password?
In this case, everything is done in exactly the same way as I described above. Only, in the settings of the router you need to go through the network cable (so you don't need to enter a password), or from a device that is still connected to the wireless network.
In the settings, on the same tab WiFi/Security Settings you can see the old password (which is specified in the PSK Encryption Key field), or set a new key.
And if you do not have the opportunity to connect via a network cable, and there is not a single device connected via Wi-Fi, then most likely you will have to reset the router settings and configure everything again. After the reset, the network will either be unsecured, or a standard key will be used to connect to it, which is listed below the devices a (it's signed as a PIN).
What should I do if the devices do not connect to the network after changing the key?
The most common problem that occurs after a key change is when devices that were previously connected to the Wi-Fi network with the old password refuse to connect to it. This is due to the fact that these devices have stored old key, which after the change does not match. On computers, this is most likely the error "The network settings stored on this computer do not match the requirements of this network."
What you need to do, you just need to delete your Wi-Fi network on the device, and reconnect. On laptops with Windows 7, this is done in the control panel, in the section Control Panel\Network and Internet\Manage Wireless Networks. There we right-click on the network we need and select Delete network (then, we connect to it again with a new password).
On Windows 8, simply click on the name of the wireless network, and select " Forget this network". And on tablets, mobile phones, most likely you also need to click on the network (maybe press and hold) and select item Delete. It's different on every device.
