Go to https://spectrum.net and log in. You can use any web browser to access your Spectrum account online, but this will only work with routers given out after 2013. Earlier Spectrum routers do not have this feature.
It's towards the top of the page with Account Summary and Billing .

This will be active by default if you only subscribe to their Internet services.
You'll see this under the router's name under the "Your WiFi Networks" header.

Select and delete the original text in the password field, then type in a new password. Once you delete the previous text, you can enter a new password. Once you change the password or name, the network information on your other devices (like your Wi-Fi doorbell) will no longer work.
- To change the network name, select and delete the original text in the "Name" field and enter the new name.
You'll see this button below the password field. Your password will change and you will be signed out of the network on all devices using that network (your laptops and computers, smartphones, Wi-Fi cameras, printers, etc).

Open My Spectrum. This app icon looks like a profile-head outline in white on a dark blue background. You can find it on one of your home screens, in the app drawer, or by searching.
- If you don't have the My Spectrum mobile app, you can get it for free from the App Store or Google Play Store.
You may be asked for your Spectrum username or you'll be automatically logged in.
It's a tab at the bottom of your screen with the icons of a smartphone and a monitor or TV.
4
Tap your router. You'll see your router listed under the "WiFi" header.
- You'll see the equipment details of your router (like if it's connected to the Spectrum network, the manufacturer and model of your router, and your network information).
5
Tap View and Edit Network Info . This is under the "Your Spectrum Network" header.
- Your Wi-Fi network name and current password is listed here.
It's below your Spectrum network info.
If you want to see what you're typing, tap the eye icon.
The checkmark icon is in the upper right corner. Your password will change and you will be signed out of the network on all devices using that network (your laptops and computers, smartphones, Wi-Fi cameras, printers, etc). ^{[1]
