If you don’t want to be known on your block by your Internet Provider or don’t want to type in 10 to 20 random alphanumeric characters every time you sign on a new device, it’s time to learn how to change your user name and password.

Default name and password

This name and password assigned to you when you got your modem or gateway (a modem/router combo) is important, and is almost always somewhere you won’t lose it: printed on the bottom or side of the device. You will need this to connect the first time, and to log onto your online Wi-Fi manager to change your settings. If you have changed the name/password and forgotten what they are, you need to reset the gateway to the factory default settings by pressing the “reset” button on the back for at least 10 seconds.

Find your IP address

Your IP is a string of numbers separated by periods. For all three gateways provided by Easy Internet Now (Pace 5268ac, Motorola NVG589, and Arris BGW210) the IP is:

192.168.1.254

If you have a different modem or gateway, finding your IP is easy. If it isn’t printed on your device along with your default name and password, or inside the manual that comes with the device, you can find it quickly on your computer.

For Windows:

  1. Type “Command Prompt” in the search bar of your Start Menu, and then click to open.
  2. Type “ipconfig” and press Enter.
  3. Your IP address will be located under “Wireless LAN,” beside “Default Gateway.”

For Mac:

  1. Go to the Apple menu, and select System Preferences.
  2. Select Network.
  3. Select Advanced.
  4. Select the TCP/IP tab.
  5. Your IP address will be beside Router.

Changing your network name and password is pretty easy, once you know where to look for the options. But what should I change it to? I can’t really tell you that. Your password should be easy to remember but hard to guess and contain numbers and special characters. Buzzfeed has some funny, nerdy ideas for names if you don’t want to use your own (like “This one, Nana,” or “Pretty Fly For a WiFi”).
