  • hey man i did everything you said and it worked. it shows my new SSID and it uses my new pass on WPA1 to. the only thing is when i plug a internet cord into my laptop from my router it shows up as the default name that the router came with. is this normal to still say the name of the old network user when i use a hardline?

  • @fetus2genius1 yes that's normal the SSID is only for the wireless. Some routers allow you to change the "name" of the router which should change the name when you plug in a wire, but not sure the version router has this option but it might.

  • Ok, i also want to change my router information. But I keep on getting an error. The username and password doesn't work. I have searched and searched and have tried all the possible username-password combos. but none seem to work, and I cannot get into my router. So how do I figure out my username and password then?

  • @TechnoHelpOfficial You can try resetting the router using the button on the back. Should reset them to the defaults. Will also reset the password to it's default.

  • everytime i put in a letter for the password. three letters or five come up instead please help?

  • @anasabbas98 same things happens to me just ignore it and type the right password.

see all
