Press Windows key + R, type cmd, and press Enter. In the black window, type ipconfig and press Enter. Look for the line that says Default Gateway — that number (usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1) is your router's address.
Go to System Settings → Network → WiFi → Details. Look for the field labeled Router — that's your router's IP address.
Go to Settings → WiFi, then tap the name of your current WiFi network. Scroll down to find the field labeled Router.
Note down the router IP address — something like 192.168.1.1. You'll type this into a web browser in the next step to access your router's settings.
Open Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or any browser on a device that's connected to your home WiFi network.
Click the address bar at the top of the browser, type in your router's IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.1), and press Enter. A login page should appear — if it doesn't, double-check the IP address.
You'll be prompted for a username and password. These are the router's admin credentials — not your WiFi password. Check the sticker on the back or bottom of your router for these details.
If there's no sticker, try these common defaults: username admin, password admin — or username admin, password password. Many routers also accept a blank password field with just the username.
If the default credentials don't work and you've changed them before, you'll need to reset your router. Locate the small reset button (usually a pinhole on the back), press and hold it for 10 seconds using a paperclip. This restores factory defaults.
Once logged in, you'll see your router's admin dashboard. The layout varies by brand but you're looking for a section related to Wireless or WiFi settings — proceed to the next section.
Look in the router's menu for something labeled Wireless Settings, WiFi Settings, or WLAN. The exact name depends on your router brand. It's usually in the main navigation menu.
Look for a field labeled Password, Passphrase, Pre-Shared Key, or Security Key. It may be hidden — look for a "show password" option or eye icon to reveal it.
Delete the old password and type a new one. Use at least 12 characters and mix letters, numbers, and symbols for a strong password. Avoid anything easy to guess like your address or name.
Click Save, Apply, or OK — depending on your router. The router will apply the new settings, which usually takes 15–30 seconds.
When the new password is applied, your router will briefly restart. All devices currently connected to your WiFi will be disconnected — this is normal.
On each device, go to WiFi settings, select your network name, and enter the new password. You'll need to do this for every device: phones, tablets, laptops, smart TVs, game consoles, and smart home devices.
Go to routerlogin.net in your browser (or 192.168.1.1). Log in, then navigate to Advanced → Wireless Settings to find the password field.
Go to 192.168.0.1 in your browser. Log in (default: admin/admin), then go to Wireless → Wireless Security to update the password.
Go to 10.0.0.1 in your browser, or download the Xfinity app and go to WiFi settings to change the password without logging into the router directly.
Go to 192.168.1.254 in your browser. Log in (the access code is on the router sticker), then navigate to Home Network → WiFi to change the password.
Open the My Spectrum app on your phone. Tap Services, then WiFi to manage your network name and password without needing the router's IP address.
