Why Should you Change Router Passcode?
The main reason to change the Router default passcode is security. Changing the device default passcode is important for our convenience.
It is necessary to strengthen the security of our local network.
It is worth mentioning that the router is a gateway to possible attacks. The device has several types of encryption for Wi-Fi networks, such as WEP, WPA or WPA2.
Still, all these types of encryptions also come under the attack of hackers. So, the main important step is to change the pass-code of Wi-Fi as soon as possible. Never keep the default passcode.
Have you Run out of Connection?
If you are connected to the device through the Wi-Fi network, you will be disconnected at the time the pass-code change is effective.
The reason is that the secret phrase saved by your device is not valid. You will simply have to reconnect to the network using the new security phrase.
If, on the other hand, you have connected through an Ethernet cable, you will not run out of connection.
