If you’re a Spectrum customer, keeping your WiFi network secure is essential to protect your personal information and maintain a reliable connection. Changing your network name (SSID) and password regularly adds an extra layer of security to your home network. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to change your Spectrum WiFi network name and password:

3. Log in using the default username and password (usually 'admin' for both).
4. Locate the ‘Wireless’ or ‘WiFi’ settings option.
5. Find the SSID field to change your network name.
6. Create a new, unique network name that is easy to identify but not too revealing of personal information.
7. Look for the password or security key settings.
8. Choose a strong password with a mix of letters, numbers, and special characters.
9. Save your changes and wait for the router to restart with the new settings.
10. Reconnect your devices to the WiFi network using the new name and password.

By following these steps, you can enhance the security of your Spectrum WiFi network and reduce the risk of unauthorized access. Remember to update your network name and password periodically to stay ahead of potential security threats.
