Change my AT&T wifi name and password

I am attempting to change my wifi password. At the Home Network - Wireless tab, the WEP field and KEY field are grayed about.  Should I select a different option under the Security Field - it currently reads "WPA - Default Key".

Hi @wifipassword,

 

To change your Wi-Fi Password or Network Name (SSID) on NVG, you will need to change the "Security field" to "WPA-PSK".

 

Here's the full steps here:

  1. Start by going to http://192.168.1.254
    Note: you may be required to enter your Device Access Code in order to continue. The default Device Access Code can be found on the side of your gateway (this is not the same as your Wi-Fi password).
  2. Go to Home Network > Wireless
  3. Either change the Network Name (SSID) or the Password
    • Changes can be made to your Wi-Fi name under Network Name (SSID)
    • To change password, change the Security from WPA-Default Key to WPA – PSK option then type your desired password in the Key section
  4. Save all changes made to your device

Get more details on How to Change your Password on another specific modem/gateway.

 

When setting up a new Wi-Fi password, don't use your name, address, birth date or other things that make it easy for someone to identify you.

 

Once you have successfully changed your Wi-Fi password (Key), you may need to reconnect all your Wi-Fi devices using the new password information.
