Change Your Wi-Fi Router Default Login

Change Your Wi-Fi Router Default Username and Password



Both Wi-Fi and ASDL Routers or Modems have inbuilt Access Method where you can access all the settings related to the modem. You can change your Modem username and password to make it more secure against unwanted attack from the hacker’s community. Not only can you change modem username and password but also a variety of settings like routing of network, Router MAC Address, etc. Not only does the username and password plays a vital role in securing a Router but also the MAC Address, because a hacker can use the MAC address of the Router to hack the Router even if he haven’t your username and password.

But, where comes the need to change your default username and password of the Router?

It’s a secure and good practice because if a hacker comes within your Wi-Fi Router’s Transmission Range, he can use it to do some illicit activities both to the world and to you. Wi-Fi & ASDL Routers of vendors providing Broadband services come with very weak combination of username and password. Username can be your name, “Admin”, or “Administrator”, or “localhost”, etc. And the default password is “admin” or “password” or something like that. A hacker generally need not work harder to guess your username and password combination to completely take your router under his control.

Also, if this is a wireless router, change the network name (often called SSID). While the router comes to you with a network name set at the factory, you will never want to use this name on your network.

For Example for BSNL ASDL Modem, you can configure it by going to:

http://192.168.1.1/

Enter your default username (“admin”) and password (“admin”) and login.
After that change your password and click on Save Settings!
