If you are setting up your Belkin router, it is advised to set up an administrator password to keep your router protected from unnecessary changes. With an administrator password, every time you open the set-up page, you will have to key in the password before you make any changes in the settings. This will ensure that no one else can change anything about your Belkin router other than you.
Follow these steps to set up your admin password:
1. Connect your computer to the LAN port on the router 2. Open a browser and access a web page, type in the address, ‘192.168.2.1’. You can also enter ‘router’ in the address bar. 3. You will be redirected to the Belkin set up page. Click on log in at the right side of your screen. 4. If you are using this for the first time, leave the password column blank and click on Submit. If you already have an administrator password, enter the password here 5. Click on System Settings under utilities. The administrator Password settings will open on your screen 6. Type in the current password (if any), new password and confirm password. 7. Click on Apply and save
Please note that the administrator password is different from the wireless connection password that you use to connect your devices. The admin password protects your settings and ensures that no one else has the right to change them. However, if you have set an admin password and do not remember it, you will have to reset your router and all your previous settings will be lost. To reset, contact Belkin wireless router help and you will be guided through the complete process.
Keep your Belkin router secure by adding an administrator password and ensure better performance of your internet. This truly helps in enhancing the internet browsing experience and ensuring you only pay for what you use.
