How to change security on router

Hello Tecnobits! I hope you are having a day as safe as ‍changing the security⁣ on your router. A virtual hug⁢!

-⁣ Step by Step ➡️ How to change the security on the router

• First, access your router's settings by typing its IP address into your web browser. The default IP address is usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1, but you can find it in your router's manual or by searching online.
• Next, enter the‌ username‍ and password for your router's settings. ‍ If you haven't​ changed them, the⁣ default‍ username and password can ⁤also be found in the manual or by searching online.
• Once logged in, locate the “Security” or “Wireless Security” tab in the router settings. This tab may be located under a different name, depending on your router's interface.
• Choose your desired security⁢ mode. The ⁢most ⁢common options are WEP, WPA,‌ and WPA2.​ WPA2 is the most secure option and is recommended⁢ for most users.
• Create a strong passphrase for your wireless network. Use a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special ⁢characters to make it more secure.
• Save your changes and exit the router settings. Your wireless network should now be more secure with the new settings in place.
