How Do I Change My Wi-Fi Name and Password?
A Simple Guide from SilverLink Internet
Changing your Wi-Fi name and password is a smart way to keep your internet secure and make your network easier to recognize. Here's how to do it in just a few simple steps!
Why Should I Change My Wi-Fi Name and Password?
Better Security: The default password is the same for many users. Changing it helps stop unwanted users from connecting to your internet.
Make It Personal: Use a name like “SmithFamilyWiFi” or “GrannySueInternet” so you can find your network easily.
Stay in Control: If someone you no longer trust has your password—or if you’ve had a lot of guests—this gives you a fresh start.
Improve Connection: Sometimes, changing settings can help avoid interference from other networks nearby.
Step-by-Step: How to Change Your Wi-Fi Name and Password
Step 1: Plug in with an Ethernet cord
►Plug one end of an ethernet cord into your computer or laptop.
►Plug the other end into the LAN port on your SilverLink modem/router (it’s the port closest to the power plug).
Step 2: Login to Your Router
►Open a web browser (like Chrome, Safari, or Edge).
►In the top bar (where you type website addresses), type:
192.168.8.1
►Then press Enter on your keyboard.
►If it asks for a username and password:
Username: root
Password: 1234554321
Step 3: Change Your Wi-Fi Name and Password
►On the left-hand menu, click WIRELESS.
►Click Modify under the 2.4GHz settings.
►Change the Wi-Fi Name (SSID) to something easy to remember (like “SmithWiFi”).
►Change the Wi-Fi Key (that’s your password) to something strong but simple for you (like “Grandma2024!”).
►Click Apply to save your changes.
✦Repeat these same steps for the 5GHz settings listed below the 2.4GHz section.
Step 4: Restart Your Router
►Unplug the power cord from the router.
►Wait 10 seconds.
►Plug it back in.
✦This makes sure all your changes take effect properly.
Your Done!
Now your internet has a name and password that you chose. It’s safer, easier to recognize, and ready to go!
