For security and personal reasons (like a newer password that will be easier to remember and harder for hackers to guess), you'll want to change your password occasionally. This wikiHow article will teach you how to change your Huawei WiFi password using your web browser or the Huawei AI Life mobile app. Either method will work if you use Huawei routers like the mobile Wi-Fi routers or mesh system.
Steps
-
Go to your router's web-based management page. There is usually a numerical web address (similar to 192.168.3.1) printed on the side or at the bottom of your router along with your username and password. Insert this numerical address in the URL bar of any web browser as long as you're connected to your router's WiFi or plugged in with an ethernet cable.
