Tinkkisses — Fri, 03 Jul 2020 15:25:43 GMT

i have changed the password on my WiFi mini ( the under the battery cover password). But really wanted to change the WiFi key to something easier to remember. How do I do that? Step by step instructions required as very not techy

thanks

I presume you mean you've changed your router's admin pwd. Login to your MBB router at http://192.168.1.1 with this admin password & look under the Wireless Settings tab. There you should be able to see your WiFi pwd in clear & change it.

I have the same problem. The solution doesn't work because the original key (password) is deemed incorrect. It is correct because I use it to connect to the box. What's the solution? Thanks.

@Carlo60 : Factory reset the router & the WiFi pwd will return to its default.

How do you mean by a correct pwd is deemed incorrect? By what?

Well, @Carlo60 , which is it to be? A mobile router or a Home BB router? You've posted to both.

it's a mini router. And the mistake is mine. I didn't notice there is both a "key" and a "password." When I said it works, I meant using the key connected me to WiFi. I used the password to get to the 192.168.1.1 and make changes.

Sorry for the confusion on my part. And thanks,

Charles

@Carlo60 : "Key" and "Password" are used interchangeably for the WiFi security code.

Thanks! You're welcome 🙂 ! Glad I could be of assistance.

I can't change password either. Msge says password (inside cover) is incorrect. I'm new to this forum and can't work out how to see replies to the same query other people have asked about. Can anyone help? Thank you T

Morning @TrishVB

Thanks for coming here.

Have you changed the password previously?

If not, have you tried using admin as the password?
