What's the first step in accessing my router?

How many passwords are there for my home network?

What are the two methods for connecting to a router?

Episode summary

If you can install an app, and visit a website, you can learn to access your router.

Reading the section in the router's manual should help.

Yes, I realize many of us don't read manuals anymore, but that's what I suggest.

You also need to know your router's admin username and password is.

It's probably printed on the bottom of your router, but if not, here again, the manual is your friend.

Finally, install the router's brand app if they have one, and you're ready to go!

Call to action

Connect to your router, change the admin password, and keep that password in a safe place.
