Change the Default Password

For wireless products such as access points and routers, you will be asked for a password
when you want to change their settings. These devices have a default password set at the
factory. Hackers know these defaults and may try to use them to access your wireless
device and change your network settings. To thwart any unauthorized changes, customize
the device's password so it will be hard to guess.
