  • Question
    How do I find my password?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    If you haven't changed it, you can research your model of router online to find out the default administrative login. If you've changed it and can't recall your password, you'll likely have to do a factory reset on the router to restore its settings to those when you first purchased it.

    Community Answer
    Put it in the middle of our house so it can be accessed just about anywhere, and if need be, buy a WiFi extender for any areas you have trouble getting a connection. These work really well and they're inexpensive.
