Changing the Wi-Fi password of your Belkin router

A Wi-Fi password is essential if you would like to connect your devices wirelessly to the Wi-Fi and then limit the number of users that may connect to your own Wi-Fi. This guide will help you in altering your Belkin router's password. It is recommended that your computer is hardwired into your router when performing these steps.

Step 5:

To alter the Wi-Fi password, follow the directions below:

WPA/WPA2-Personal(PSK) - Your existing Pre-shared Key (PSK) is going to be shown. This is your Wi-Fi security key or password.

NOTE: The PSK has to be around 8 to 63 characters in length and is case sensitive. Unchecking the Obscure PSK box will show the security key that has been typed. Select Essential 1 and input some 10 hexadecimal digits. You may use a combination of 0-9, A-F. In the event you select 128bit, then you will need to enter 26 hexadecimal characters.

As an alternative, you may enter your favorite password in the PassPhrase field and then click generate.

IMPORTANT: Take note of the code shown in the Key 1 field. This will serve as your Wi-Fi's safety key.

Step 6:

You should now have changed your own Wi-Fi password.

IMPORTANT: While Belkin's newer router versions encourage WPA™ / WPA2™ security, some of the old models don't. To know more about the different kinds of Wi-Fi security and how to put them up, click here.
