How to Change Wireless Network SSID and Password?

  1. Log in to the router’s web interface using 192.168.178.1, as mentioned earlier.
  2. Once logged in, locate and click on WLAN from the left column.

  5. Click on Apply to save the changes.
  6. To change the password, select Security from the left column.
  7. In the Network Key field, enter a new password for your wireless network.
  8. Click on Apply to save the changes.

Forgot Login Password?

Now, we all know how it goes sometimes. You change the login password for your router’s web interface to keep things safe and secure, but then forget it. Don’t fret! Here’s what you can do to regain access to the web interface:

  1. Locate the small RESET button at the back of the router.
  2. Grab a needle, paperclip, or any similar object. Press and hold the reset button for 10-15 seconds.
  3. Release the button. The LED lights will blink, signaling that the router is rebooting.
  4. Once the reboot is complete, everything will be restored to the factory defaults, including any changed passwords. Now, you can log in using the default username and password to the router’s web interface.

And there you have it! You’re now armed with the knowledge of 192.168.178.1, the gateway to all the wonders of your Fritz Box router. So go forth, explore, and make the most of your router’s web interface. Happy router tweaking!
