Jakarta, IndonesiaSentinel.com — If you haven’t changed your Wi-Fi password since it was first installed, it’s worth considering an update. Why is this important? Regularly changing your password helps control the number of users connected to your network, ensuring optimal internet speed.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to change your IndiHome Wi-Fi password.
Two Ways to Change Your IndiHome Wi-Fi Password
1. Changing the Password Using Your Smartphone
You can easily change your IndiHome Wi-Fi password using your smartphone. Just make sure your phone is connected to the Wi-Fi network you want to update.
- Connect to the Wi-Fi Network: Enable Wi-Fi on your phone and connect to the network you wish to update.
- Access the Router’s IP Address: Open a browser like Chrome or Safari, and type in the router’s IP address (typically 192.168.1.1). If that doesn’t work, try alternatives like 192.168.1.254 or 192.168.0.1.
- Login to the Admin Panel: Enter the default username and password, usually “user” for both fields, unless changed previously.
- Go to ‘Security’: Navigate to ‘Network’ > ‘WLAN’ > ‘Security’ in the side panel.
- Update the Wi-Fi Password: In the WPA paraphrase section, enter your new password and click ‘Submit.’
These steps can also be done using a laptop or PC, as long as it’s connected to the Wi-Fi network.
2. Changing the Password on a Huawei Router
If you’re using a Huawei router, the process is slightly different but still straightforward.
- Access the Router’s IP Address: Go to 192.168.100.1 in your browser.
- Login with Username and Password: The default login credentials may be “telecomadmin” for the username and “admintelecom” for the password, but this can vary based on your router model.
- Go to ‘WLAN’: Once logged in, select the ‘WLAN’ option from the top menu.
- Update the Password: Scroll to ‘WPA PreSharedKey,’ enter your new password, and hit ‘Apply.’ The router will restart, and you’ll need to reconnect with the new password.
Tips for Creating a Strong Wi-Fi Password
To ensure your network’s security, create a password that’s hard to guess. Avoid using personal information like your birthday or social media usernames. Instead, use a combination of numbers, symbols, and at least 8 characters. You can also use a password generator for a stronger, randomized password.
