Wi-Fi router’s comes along with an interface where we can change settings and configure your new router to a connection. They allow user’s to connect to them through a secured password called as authentication key. There are many authentication type’s like WEP-64Bits, WEP-128Bits, WPA-PSK, and some other and even you can choose no authentication i.e: No password is required to connect to a Wi-Fi router and However its not secured to use no authentication since any of the individual’s can access your connection and there is a chance to damage your device. Let’s see how to choose or change your Wi-Fi Router’s password.
