Rostelecom offers its customers stable Internet in all regions of the country with high data transfer speeds. After setting up a connection through the provider's router, the user creates Wi-Fi and gains access to the Network on all devices.

To reliably protect your wireless connection, use and change a complex password regularly. We talk about the need for such a procedure and how to change the password on a Rostelecom Wi-Fi router via a computer and phone in the article.

When to change your password

A good password reliably protects the wireless network from access by strangers and allows only trusted devices to use the Internet. If you don't protect your Wi-Fi, strangers will connect to it and your connection speed will slow down. In this case, the owner of the router will pay for access to the Network.

You need to change the password on the Rostelecom Wi-Fi router after connecting and setting up. Additionally, you will need to change the credentials for logging into the web configurator, since the values ​​​​set at the manufacturer's factory are too simple, which means that any stranger can gain access to managing the router.

To use Wi-Fi safely, you need to change your login and password. The wireless network created by default by the router is often open, which means that any stranger can connect to it to gain access to the Internet or the admin panel.

It is recommended to change the password on the Rostelecom router if the speed constantly jumps and decreases by almost half. These signs indicate that strangers are connecting to the Internet. After changing the login and password for accessing Wi-Fi, third-party connected devices will be disconnected, and the speed will return to its previous levels.

You need to set a new secret combination at least once every six months, even if there are no signs of strangers connecting to the Internet. Attackers can use the connection to steal personal data from user devices on the home network.

Changing the password on a Rostelecom Wi-Fi router is done if it has been forgotten or lost. The router is reset to factory settings, and then a new complex combination of numbers, letters and symbols is invented and installed.

If there is no sticker, the package with the Rostelecom router includes a passport and other documents. Login information can be found in them or in the contract issued by the provider upon connection.

If you can’t find your login information, you need to call technical support and ask them for your login information.

How to come up with a complex password

A good and strong password consists of numbers, letters of different case and symbols.

It must be invented independently. The signs must be placed in random order. The combination should be associated with something - this will help you remember it. Codes that would be difficult to enter when connected to Wi-Fi are not suitable, especially on smartphones or tablets with a small touch screen keyboard.

Simple combinations of letters or numbers are not allowed, for example, 111111, 12345, qwerty, aaaaaaa, etc. Do not set the names of pets, dates of birth or other events, words or phrases-patterns, etc. as a password. These are unreliable secret combinations.

To protect your Rostelecom home wireless network from connection by strangers for free Internet use or theft of user personal data, you need to regularly change your wifi password. This procedure is performed in the web configurator of Rostelecom routers on a computer and phone. It is similar to models from different brands, but with differences. The new password must be complex so that it is impossible to hack it.

Possible problems

It often happens that users cannot access the settings page by IP address. This may be due to incorrect spelling. Only numbers separated by dots are used; https:// is not necessary. Enter into the line of the browser where the page addresses are indicated.

If a blank page opens, a message about the inability to connect, or display search results for a search engine request, then the reason may be an inappropriate IP address. Some router models have a different combination.

To find out the address of your router:

1. Open a command prompt on your computer.
2. Type the command "ipconfig" and press Enter.
3. The system will display a list of parameters. The line called “Default Gateway” indicates the current IP of the router.

Do everything with the received address according to the standard scheme described above. The page interface may differ for different devices, but the principle remains the same.
