Change the Wi-Fi password
What happens to everything in the house when the network password changes.
Change the network password and every device in the house drops off at once — phones, printer, television, doorbell.
Nothing is damaged. Each waits to be told the new password before it comes back.
Key points
- Changing the network password drops every device in the house
- Each comes back once the new password is typed into it
What to remember
- Write the new one down before saving.
- A new password means every device is told again.
Try this
Write your network password on a card by the router. The next device that asks takes a minute, not an evening.
