Description: This technical article will show how to configure the N60 router to use a different security key than the default for logging into the network.

  2. Log in to the router. The default login is admin for both the username and the password.
  3. Once logged in, the main screen shown below will appear. Click on Advanced in the upper-right. It is not recommended to change the key on this main screen.

  5. With the security page open, locate the Security Key field. By default, it contains the key 12345678. This key is the one used to login to the network with a device. Set this key to whatever is desired. It is recommended to use at least eight characters, and there is a maximum of 64.
