Be Sure to Change Your Router's Default Password
The Tip of the Night for February 9, 2018, discussed how you can easily look up the default password for a router. After receiving a new router, it is imperative that the default password be changed. In order to do this, in a web browser enter the IP address associated with the router, and access your account using the default user name and password. In order to find this IP address, in command prompt enter: ipconfig
At the end of the data generated by this command will be an IP address listed as the default gateway. This is the address of the site where your router's password can be reset.
