There may be times when you want to change or retrieve your WiFi password to ensure your network remains secure. Tips on creating strong passwords can be found in this support article HERE.

Although not required, it is recommended that you connect a device to your modem with an ethernet cable to avoid disconnection while changing your WiFi information.
