In addition to fixed-line services, the operator Ukrtelecom (OGO) provides its clients with an Internet access service. Most often, ADSL modems ZTE ZXV10 H108L and Huawei Hg532E are provided to clients to ensure connection. The company's specialists perform the initial setup of devices, including the organization of a home WiFi network. If you need to change your password or change other settings, you need to order a paid service from the support service or do it yourself.
When setting up a modem, Ukrtelecom masters set a password at their own discretion or organize password-free access to the network via WiFi. Many people think that securing a home network is not important because they do not have valuable information on their computer. However, you should consider the following points:
- If a password is not set or it has become known to all neighbors, they can freely connect to your network. As a result, the Internet channel will be clogged with third-party traffic, which will reduce the speed of your access and will cause lags when playing online games, watching videos, etc.
- Outsiders who connect to your network can disseminate prohibited information or engage in fraudulent activities. As a result, law enforcement officers will come to your address and will have to, at least, give explanations.
- If you forget your WiFi password, you will not be able to connect new devices to it. In this case, you will have to change the WiFi network password on your Huawei Hg532E modem, or ZTE ZXV10 H108L.
If in the latter case there are ways to find out the password, then in the first two only replacing the password with a new and reliable one will help.
We change the password of the Wi-Fi network on modems from Ukrtelecom
To change your password, you need a computer, tablet or smartphone. You must be connected to a modem via Wi-Fi, or by cable (LAN).
Launch your browser and type in the IP address in the address bar 192.168.1.1... An authorization window will open, in which you must enter the login "admin" and the current password set to protect the device. Router manufacturers set the default password to "admin" or "1234". Information about it is available in the instructions for the device. If the default password is changed to a new one, it can be written on the back of the modem. By default, login is most often used"admin" and password"admin".
This is how you enter the settingsHuawei Hg532E:
And in the same way we go into the settingsZTE ZXV10 H108L... If you have this modem.
In the case when you do not remember the password and cannot log in to the modem settings page, you will have to perform a full reset to the factory settings. However, please note that along with the access password, the Internet connection settings will also be reset. You will have to call the wizard or enter the connection parameters yourself and re-configure the modem from Ukrtelecom.
Let's take a closer look at how to change the password on each modem.
Changing WiFi password on Huawei Hg532E
In the settings of the Huawei modem, you need to open the "Basic" and "WLAN" sections.
- In the SSID field, you can change the name of the Wi-Fi network.
- In the "WPA pre-shared key" field, change the password for our Wi-Fi network.
It looks like this:
Enter a new password (English letters and numbers, at least 8 characters) and press the "Submit" button to apply the settings. Reboot your modem.
How to change the WiFi network password on the ZTE ZXV10 H108L modem?
After entering the control panel, go to the "WLAN" - "Security" tab.
In the "WPA Passphrase" field (WPA Password (depending on the modem model and firmware)) enter a new password for accessing the WiFi network.
Save your changes by clicking on the "Submit" button. You also need to restart the modem.
This completes the password setting and you can use the Internet access channel from Ukrtelecom with all your devices with a WiFi interface. You just need to connect to WiFi with a new password.
If there are connection problems after changing the password
In the event that you changed only the password, without changing the network name (SSID), then there may be problems connecting to the wireless network on different devices. On computers, this is an error "The network settings saved on this computer do not match the requirements of this network." I wrote about the solution to this error as part of the article: why the laptop does not connect to Wi-Fi. In short, you need to delete the Wi-Fi network on your computer and connect to it with a new password. In separate articles I have already written how to forget the network in Windows 10, and remove the Wi-Fi network in Windows 7.
On mobile devices (Android, iOS), you just need to open the properties of the wireless network, or click on the network and hold it. Select "delete network" from the menu.
