    how do I change my wifi passcode?

    By 'WiFi password' do you mean the password for your WiFi network?

    That's a 2-step procedure:

    1- Get into your router's administration console and change the password there. (Don't forget to click or tap the Apply or OK button.) Going forward, every device that wants to join your WiFi network has to supply that password.

    2- (There's more than one way to do thishow do I change my WiFi network password :) Right-click on the network icon in your system tray (which probably has a red 'X' on it now) and choose Open Network and Internet settings.

    • Under 'Change your network settings,' choose 'Change adapter options'
    • Right-click on the icon for your WiFi adapter and choose Properties. That's where you enter the new password
    • Once you've done that, wait for a minute or so. The red 'X' will disappear from your system tray and your computer is back on the network.
    Don't forget to change the password on every other device on your network, like printers and phones.

    Help with changing wifi password?

    That section is for the password you enter to get into the routers settings. You need to go to your WiFi or wireless settings page, look for the security options, and the WiFi password will be listed as either Password, or Key, or WPA Key.

    On my router it's the Password (Network Key) block:

    Phone won't connect if I change wifi password

    This post states that you did'nt Apply the router config after changing the password.

    Possible the router memory is bad or not saving new setting
    Change the password reboot the router , check after in router if new password saved
    If not, reset router to factory default and re setup
    check if setting saved after reboot

    If do change router password the network will need to be deleted off phone and connect again (or it trying to connect to old saved wifi password ) or could manually change it on phone and save ( as others have stated )

    home network
