Change your router admin password

[#1]

You need your router admin password to log into your router's settings. When you first set up your TalkTalk router, your login details will be set to default. It's a good idea to change your default router admin password to keep your network secure.

Your router admin password is not the same as your Wi-Fi password which you use to connect to Wi-Fi. If you want to change this, follow the steps in changing your Wi-Fi name or password.

How do I access my router settings?

These steps are the same regardless of which router you're using.

1. Open your browser and type in 192.168.1.1 to go to the router admin page
2. Login with your router username and password. You’ll find these on the sticker underneath the removable settings card on back of your Wi-Fi Hub. If your router doesn't have a sticker, your default username and password will be set to 'Admin'.

Which router do I have?

After completing the steps above, you'll need to know which router you're using. Your router's make and model is on the sticker on the back of your router. The make comes first (e.g. Huawei), followed by the model (e.g. HG633).
