Changing the password on your ASUS router is an essential part of maintaining your network’s security. Whether you want to update your Wi-Fi password to something more secure or simply need to change the admin password for better access control, knowing how to do this is important. In this article, we will walk you through the process of changing the password on your ASUS router with easy-to-follow steps.

Why Should You Change Your ASUS Router Password?

There are several reasons why changing your ASUS router password is a good idea:

Enhanced Security: Changing the default or old password can help protect your network from unauthorized access.

Preventing Unauthorized Use: If you’ve shared your network with others, it’s a good idea to update the password periodically to ensure your Wi-Fi remains secure.

Troubleshooting: If you’re having trouble connecting devices to your router, resetting the password can often resolve connection issues.

How to Change the Password on ASUS Router

Follow these simple steps to change your router’s password:

Access the Router’s Admin Interface

Open a web browser on your computer or mobile device.

Type the router’s IP address in the browser’s address bar. Common ASUS router IP addresses are 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1.

Enter your admin username and password to log into the router’s web interface. If you haven’t changed it before, the default credentials are often “admin” for both.

Navigate to the Wi-Fi Settings

Once logged in, go to the Wireless or Wi-Fi Settings section, depending on your router’s model.

You will find options for your Wi-Fi name (SSID) and Wi-Fi password.

Change the Wi-Fi Password

In the Wi-Fi password field, enter a new, strong password. Make sure it’s a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols to ensure better security.

Save the changes once done.

Change the Admin Password (Optional)

If you want to change the admin password (used to access the router settings), navigate to the Administration section.

Enter the new password in the appropriate fields and save the changes.

Reconnect Your Devices

After changing the Wi-Fi password, you will need to reconnect all your devices using the new password.
