How to Change Zuku WiFi Password

You may notice your internet feels slower, or you see unfamiliar devices using your WiFi. That can be annoying. Changing your Zuku WiFi password is a solid move to protect your connection. It’s something you can do yourself in a few steps, no tech-wizardry needed.

Quick Answer — At a Glance

1. Connect a device (phone or PC) to the Zuku router via WiFi or LAN

2. Open browser → go to the router login page (usually 192.168.0.1)

3. Log in using router’s admin credentials (often default is “admin”/“password”)

4. Find Wireless settings → Primary Network → SSID & WPA Pre-shared Key

5. Change the SSID (WiFi name) if you want, type a new strong password, save/apply changes

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Connect to your Zuku router

   • Be in range of the router or plug in via an Ethernet cable to your PC or laptop.

   • Make sure the device has internet access via that router so you can get to its admin settings.

2. Open the router’s admin page

   • Open your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc.).

   • In the address bar type http://192.168.0.1/ and press Enter. If that doesn’t work, try 192.168.1.1. (AfriTechNews AfriTechNews)

3. Login

   • Use the default login if you’ve never changed it. Usually username: admin, password: password. (Tuko.co.ke Tuko.co.ke – Kenya news.)

   • If you changed these before and forgot them, there’s often a reset-button on the router (hold 10-20 seconds) to restore factory settings.

4. Go to WiFi or Wireless settings

   • Once logged in, find the section usually called Wireless, WiFi Settings, Network Settings, or Primary Network. (AfriTechNews AfriTechNews)

   • Under that you’ll see:

     • SSID (the WiFi name)

     • WPA Pre-shared Key (that’s the WiFi password)

5. Change the password (and name, if you want)

   • Type a new SSID if desired.

   • For password, use a strong key: mix letters (upper & lower), numbers, maybe symbols.

   • Make sure the encryption/security mode is good (WPA2 or WPA3).

6. Save / Apply and Reconnect

   • Click “Save”, “Apply”, or similar—so the router updates.

   • Your router may restart or temporarily disconnect devices. You’ll need to reconnect using the new password.

Important Notes & Tips

• Use a password you can remember but is hard for others to guess — avoid “12345678” or your birthdate.

• Update both the WiFi password and the router admin password if it’s still “admin/password”, to stop others from changing settings.

• Keep firmware updated (if your router supports it) to ensure security patches are applied.

• After changing SSID/password, check devices that used to connect automatically — you’ll need to re-enter credentials.

FAQs

Will changing WiFi password disconnect my devices?
Yes — devices already connected will lose access and you’ll need to reconnect them with the new password.

What if I forget my router admin login?
You can reset the router to factory settings (there’s a small reset button). That restores the default admin credentials, but you’ll lose any custom settings.

Is there a way to change the password without a computer?
Yes — you can use a phone, as long as it’s connected to the WiFi or via cable. Just use the browser on the phone.

Which security to use: WPA2 or WPA3?
Use WPA3 if your router supports it. If not, WPA2 is still okay. Avoid older Open or WEP settings — they’re insecure.

Can I change SSID (WiFi name) too?
Yes — in the same settings area where you change password (under SSID / Network Name). Changing it helps you quickly spot your own network and avoid confusion.
