How To Set Wifi Password In Dlink

Now It's quite clear from a previous post I did how nigh easy it was to hack a Unifi Dlink DIR-615 Wi-Fi router, that the least you lot should exercise is change your standard router countersign to something that'south more than the regular 8 digit Pivot Unifi gives you by default.

Allow'southward take a look at how to change your unifi password, or how to observe it in case yous've forgotten.

Step i: Login to your router

Start y'all'll need to login to your router. For this open Internet Explorer or Firefox or Chrome to access the internet. So instead of typing something like http://world wide web.google.com in the address bar to visit google, blazon http://192.168.0.ane in the accost bar to visit your routers web server. Your router really has a webpage that allows you lot configure you, only this web page is simply visible from inside your dwelling network so don't worry.

You lot can just click the link here to take your there too.

Once you encounter the page look something similar the picture higher up, enter admin for the username. For the password, use the default password Unifi has given you, when in doubt, wait at the bottom of your router (that's the orangish color device with the ii antennas) and look for an 8 digit Pin. That's your default password. It's printed there in big bold letters–you can't miss information technology.

Now don't be dislocated, this is only the password to access the router, not your Wi-Fi password, for now their the same password, but they could be different. That'southward what we're going to practice.

If the password at the lesser of your router doesn't work, attempt the following. Depending on your router firmware, one of them is spring to work:

Username: Management
Password: TestingR2

Username : operator
Password : h566UniFi

Username : operator
Password : telekom

Step 2: Access the Wireless setup configuration on your router

Once you've logged onto your router, visit the Wireless Setup carte (click the Wireless Setup push button on the correct bill of fare)

Step three: Manual Wireless Configuration

Once there, look for the Manual Wireless Connnection Setup and click that. This will take you to a manual configuration page for your Wi-Fi settings.

Pace 4: Change the Password

Now browse to the bottom of the folio and wait for where the WPA/WPA2 Network Central is, y'all desire to change your Password here to something other than the default viii digits given by Unifi. Incidentally, this is likewise a way to determine the current countersign for wifi networks. It'll just work for the standard Dlink dir-615 router, but the general principle is still the same for other routers, yous just to search effectually a bit more once in the administrator console.

Countersign tips

I advise at least a 12 alphanumeric password, which includes numbers and letters. If you're agape you'll forget you tin paste the password at the bottom of your router for safety keeping, a easy to crack password will only become you in problem. If visitors want to employ your wi-fi you tin wait at the bottom of your router for information.

Side by side click on the Save Settings button, and reboot for rubber measure out. Call back all devices that were configured with the old countersign at present need to refreshed.

That's information technology–pretty simple isn't information technology.

For added security I'd suggest you to change your router admin password and disable Wi-Fi protected setup option on the router.

Attempt it on someone else router 🙂

I noticed a lot of cafe'due south provide free Wi-Fi with an 8-digit password, and simply based on that I can estimate that the eight-digit password was provided by Unifi. If you're ever in a cafe where the Wi-Fi countersign is 8 digits long, then try logging onto 192.168.0.1 on your router and enter that same 8-digit countersign as the router password. Almost of the time it doesn't work, simply one time in a while you get a poor soul that forgot to change their router password before broadcasting their Wi-Fi countersign.

What else y'all demand to do

Simply changing your Wi-Fi password is not plenty, every bit I demonstrated when I logged onto some unsuspecting unifi subscribers without even accessing their WiFi. Be certain to disable remote access to your Router to ensure that no 1 can access your router from the net besides. Follow the instructions here.
