For security and personal reasons (like a newer password that will be easier to remember), you'll want to change your password occasionally. This wikiHow article will teach you how to change your Globe WiFi password when you're connected to a prepaid WiFi network. Globe Telecom is a major service provider in the Philippines.

Steps

  1. 1
    Go to your router's address (192.168.254.254) and sign in. If you're not connected to your Globe's WiFi network, you won't be able to log in.
    • Enter "192.168.254.254" into your web browser's address bar as if you're going to www.wikihow.com.
    • You can refer to How to Connect to a Wireless Internet Connection if you can't connect to the WiFi network.
    • Use the username and password that's shown on the bottom of your Globe device if it's still the default information.
  2. 2
    Tap the WiFi Settings tab. It's in the menu next to Home and Advanced at the top of the page when you log in.
    • If you're on a phone, tap the gear icon and then tap WLAN or WiFi.

    Expert Answer
    Absolutely. It's a great idea to routinely change your WiFi password, especially if you notice that your internet is suddenly slowing down. That unusual activity could be a sign that someone has your WiFi password and is using your WiFi connection. Once you update your password, you'll block anyone else who was using an old password from accessing your WiFi.
