In this manual, we will set or change the password for the Wi-Fi network on the Totolink router. Of course, you need to protect your Wi-Fi network with a password right away when setting up the router. I always try to write about this in the instructions for configuring specific router models. I do not recommend leaving your Wi-Fi network unprotected. Especially if this is not necessary. If you do not want to mess with complex passwords, then it is better to put in some kind of simple password from numbers than to leave the network unprotected. But, of course, a complex password is better, and the correct security settings on the router, in our case, on Totolink.
The process of setting and changing the password for a Wi-Fi network is no different. In any case, we will have to go to the page with the settings of our Totolink router, go to the appropriate section, and set a new password.
Another important point. By default, on some routers, the wireless network is protected by a factory password, which is indicated on the router itself. On Totolink routers, the Wi-Fi network is not password protected. I will change the password on the Totolink N150RT model.
Set the Wi-Fi network password on the Totolink router
To change the password, we need to go to the router settings. Connect to the router via Wi-Fi, or by cable, launch any browser, and go to it at 192.168.1.1.
The router will ask for a username and password to enter the settings. Factory settings are admin and admin. If you changed them, then of course, we indicate your password.
If you have any problems with entering the settings of the Totolink router, then see a separate instruction: https://help-wifi.com/totolink/kak-zajti-v-nastrojki-routera-totolink-na-primere-modeli-totolink-n150rt /
Then click on the "Advanced Setup" button.
If necessary, change the language to Russian or Ukrainian. Go to the "Wi-Fi network" section.
Here we need to specify in the "Wi-Fi network protection algorithm" menu WPA2... In the "Wi-Fi network security key" field, enter the password that will be used in the future to connect to your wireless network. The password must be at least 8 characters long. English letters and numbers. Click on the "Apply" button.
By the way, in the "SSID (Wi-Fi network name)" field you can change the name of your wireless network.
In order for the changes to take effect, you need to restart the router. To do this, click on the "Restart" button.
After rebooting the router, to connect to your Wi-Fi, you will need to specify the password that we just set. If some devices have already been connected to the router, you will have to reconnect them.
Not infrequently, after changing the password, the computer may display the errors "Windows could not connect to ...", or "The network settings saved on this computer do not meet the requirements of this network." You just need to delete the network on the computer. For Windows 7 instructions, see here. And if you have Windows 10, then you need to forget the network.
