Tips

Change it from the factory default immediately

Default router admin passwords are widely published online — changing this is one of the most impactful security steps for a home network.

Store it somewhere separate from your WiFi password

These are two different credentials — keep both, clearly labeled, in your password manager.

Update firmware regularly alongside changing this password

A strong admin password doesn't help if the router's firmware has known unpatched vulnerabilities — check for updates periodically.

Frequently asked questions

Is my router admin password the same as my WiFi password?

No — they're separate. The WiFi password lets devices join your network; the admin password controls the router's actual settings.

Why do routers ship with default admin passwords?

For initial setup convenience — but these defaults are widely published, making them one of the first things an attacker on your network would try.

How often should I change my router admin password?

Change it immediately from the factory default, and again if you ever suspect your network has been compromised.
