If you've got a Belkin router, you might need to change the Wi-Fi password.

Changing your Wi-Fi password adds an extra level of security to your network. The more often you change it, the better—especially if the new passwords are sufficiently complex.

The process is easy, all you need is a computer or tablet connected to the Belkin router you want to update.
