How to Change Netgear Router Name and Password: A Comprehensive Guide

Changing Your Netgear Router Name and Password

Netgear routers are widely used for home and business internet connections. Changing the router name and password is crucial for security reasons. Here's how you can do it:

1. Access the router settings by typing 'http://www.routerlogin.net' or 'http://www.routerlogin.com' in your web browser.
2. Enter the default username and password. If you haven't changed these before, the default credentials are usually 'admin' for both.
3. Once logged in, locate the 'Wireless Settings' or 'WiFi Settings' tab.
4. Under the 'SSID' or 'Network Name' field, enter your new desired router name.
5. For changing the password, look for the 'Password' or 'Passphrase' field. Enter a strong, unique password.
6. Save your changes and wait for the router to reboot.
7. Reconnect to your network using the new name and password.

Remember to choose a strong password with a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols to enhance the security of your network.
