To protect your Technicolor 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 on Technicolor Routers

Step-by-Step Guide to Updating Wi-Fi Credentials

1. Connect a device to your Technicolor 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. Press Enter or Go.

3. You should now see a Technicolor screen with several tiles. Select Sign In at the top right.

    

   Important Note

   These instructions show screenshots of the Technicolor DWA0120 router, but they apply to the Technicolor DGA4231 and DGA2231 models as well.

4. Enter your username and password to sign in. The default username is admin. If this is your first time logging in, the password will be either 'admin' or the access key found on the label at the back of your router.

5. Select the Wireless tile on the Technicolor interface.

6. Select the wireless network name under the Access Point 2.4GHz (2.4G) or Access Point 5GHz (5G) sections. You can change one network first and then the other.

7. To change your wireless name, locate the setting labeled SSID Name. Delete the current name and enter a new one for your wireless network.

8. Ensure the Security Mode is set to WPA2-PSK. Then, find the Wireless Password setting. Delete the current password and enter a new one that is at least 8 characters long.

9. When finished, scroll down and select Save to apply your changes.

    

   Important Note

   After changing your wireless name or password, devices connected to your network may disconnect and require reconnection.
