Hi Ifeanyi, the first step in changing the Wi-Fi password is connecting to the admin screen on your Internet browser. Simply navigate to the web address http://192.168.8.1 on your browser, which leads to the Admin site. To change the admin password, which affords access to the online settings, go to the Settings tab and expand the ‘System’ drop-down menu. After choosing the Modify Password option, you can choose a new password. The current or old password is also required to complete this step.

To change the passkey that is attached to the hotspot itself, go to the WLAN menu under Settings and select Basic Settings to choose or edit SSID, Security Mode [Open, WEP, WPA2-PSK or WPA/WPA2-PSK] and WPA pre-shared key for a new hotspot key. [You can choose to restore default settings and values by selecting ‘Restore Defaults’ to Restore Factory Settings of the device]
