Guide Change the Wi-Fi password The Wi-Fi password is not the admin password. You change it only after the admin page is open. Every phone and laptop will drop off the network and must join again with the new key. Open guide Guide Port forwarding Port forwarding sends one kind of incoming connection to a single device in your house, such as a camera or a game. It does not speed up ordinary browsing, and it should not be turned on “just in case.” Open guide Guide Set up a guest network A guest network is a second Wi-Fi name on the same router. Visitors use it and reach the internet. They do not get a route to your private laptops and disks, if the isolation option stays on. Open guide Guide Reset the router to factory defaults A reset is the recovery when the admin password is lost. It is also destructive. Wi-Fi names, the admin password, port forwards, and ISP login details stored in the router all go back to the factory state. Open guide
