Routers provided by Internet Service Providers, like Xfinity, often come with really long and hard-to-remember WiFi passwords. You may want to change the password to make it easier for friends and family members to use your wireless connection.
This guide will show you three ways to log in to a Comcast Xfinity router and change the WiFi password.
1 – Log in to your Xfinity router
If you’ve never logged in to your Xfinity router, simply follow my Xfinity router login guide. We’ll summarize it here for you.
- Visit 10.0.0.1.
- As long as you haven’t changed the credentials, you can use the username admin and the password password to log in.
- Go to Gateway > Connection > WiFi.
- Press EDIT next to your wireless network.
- Edit your new password. (You can change the network name too, if you wish.)
- Click SAVE SETTINGS.
If you ever forget your password, simply reset your Comcast Xfinity router.
