How do I change my wireless name and password on a Zyxel VMG 3925 router?

To protect your Zyxel router from being accessed wirelessly by unauthorised users, you can change your wireless password. For a personal touch, you can also change your wireless name.

Changing your Wi-Fi name and password

1. Connect a device to your Zyxel router using an Ethernet cable (recommended) or Wi-Fi.
   
   
    
2. Open a new web browser and type 192.168.1.1 into your address bar, then press enter or go.
   
   
    
3. You now need to login with your username and password. The username will be admin and the password will be either be 1234, the admin password on the back of your router, or the password you set previously.
   
   Now select Login.
    

   Password not working?

   If the password doesn't work, you may need to factory reset your router.
   
   To factory reset the router, find a pin and push it into the 'Reset' hole on the back of the router for 10 seconds. After a few minutes when your router has turned back on, go back to Step 1.

   Make sure it's set to More Secure (the green setting) and also make sure the Security Mode is set to WPA2-PSK.
