Secure it like Fort Knox
To protect yourself from unauthorised access, use this section to change your WiFi
network name, WiFi password and your admin password.
Once you're finished, you'll need to reconnect all your devices that use WiFi to access
the internet (eg iPad, smartphone, Apple TV, etc), with the new WiFi network name and
password you've just created.
Tip: It's a lot easier to do these changes on your desktop, laptop or tablet, rather than
your smartphone.
How to change your WiFi password
For security reasons we recommend changing the default password from admin
to something else, write this down and keep it somewhere safe. Pick a password
that's easy to remember but hard to guess. Also consider if you're likely to share your
password with house guests. We recommend using a combination of numbers and
upper and lower case letters.
1. Open your preferred browser (eg Safari, Internet Explorer) and log in to your Modem
by typing http://192.168.20.1 into the address bar. This is your Admin IP Address.
2. Enter your admin username and password into the login window that appears (the
default for name and password is admin).
3. From the left hand menu select Wireless, 2.4GHz and then Security.
4. Under the WPA/WAPI passphrase field, enter in the new Wireless Password that
you would like for your network.
5. Click the Apply / Save button at the bottom of the page.
6. To confirm your wireless settings are saved, select the Click here to display option
and ensure your new password is correct
7. Repeat steps 4-6 above for the 5GHz option. Ensure the passphrase is the same as
the one you entered for the 2.4GHz option.

How to change your WiFi network name
We recommend using a desktop to change your WiFi Network Name (SSID) for your
wireless network by following these steps:
1. Open your preferred browser (eg Safari, Internet Explorer) and log in to your
Modem by typing http://192.168.20.1 into the address bar. This is your Admin IP
Address.
2. Enter your admin username and password into the login window that appears (the
default for name and password is admin).
3. From the menu on the left side of the screen select Wireless, 2.4GHz and then
Basic.
4. Make sure 'Enable Wireless' and 'Enable Wireless Multicast Forwarding (WMF)'
are both ticked.
5. In the SSID field enter the new name that you would like for your wireless network,
for example Smith Family WiFi.
6. Click the Apply / Save button at the bottom of the page.
