    How to change a new router's name and password on windows 10?


    Hi there,

    I've recently build a gaming PC and come from windows 8.1 to 10 and i feel like nothing is where i left it. I was wondering if someone could offer a guide on how i can change the wifi network name and the password. I've not been able to find any up to date guides on the issue and it's very annoying because this was previously very straight forward.

    Running on 10 Pro build 1809 if it's helpful.

    Router password changes and network access

    I changed my router password. My PC (windows 10) allowed me to enter my new network password so I can connect to the internet. My old windows vista laptop did the same. My new dell windows 10 laptop refused to allow me to enter the new password - it simply
    kept saying that connection was not possible. If I change the router password back to the original the dell laptop immediately connects again but as soon as I try and change it - nothing. I have been through any number of settings trying to reslove this but
    basically if I change the router password the 'network' becomes inaccessible. Any suggestions anyone? thanks

    Trouble Changing Wi-Fi Password


    I've been following the following steps to change my Wi-Fi password for some time:

    1. Launch Control Panel.
    2. Click "Network and Internet."
    3. Click "Network and Sharing Center."
    4. Click "Wi-Fi...."
    5. Click "Wireless Properties."
    6. Click the Security tab.
    7. Check "Show characters."
    8. Enter the password in "Network security key."
    Those steps have been working just fine, but today I discovered a new wrinkle. If I change the password inside the router first, "Wi-Fi..." doesn't appear in step 4. This isn't much of a problem at home, because I can just change the password in Control Panel before I change it inside the router, but it would be a problem at a public hotspot, or something of that nature. I also tested Brink's instructions in "How to Connect To a Wireless Network in Windows 10," but they don't work for me either. How can I fix this?

    How to change a new router's name and password on windows 10?

    Will ipconfig return my router user name and password?

    Ipconfig will show you the router address but not the user name and password. I don't know of any way to retrieve the assigned username & password.
