This wikiHow will teach you how to change the Wi-Fi password using the Spectrum mobile app or the website. If you are concerned about your network's privacy and security, changing the password is often a good idea.
Steps
Method 1 Method 1 of 2:
Using a Web Browser
Download Article
1 Go to https://spectrum.net and log in. You can use any web browser to access your Spectrum account online, but this will only work with routers given out after 2013. Earlier Spectrum routers do not have this feature.
2 Click the Your Services tab. It's towards the top of the page with Account Summary and Billing. Advertisement
3 Click the Internet tab. This will be active by default if you only subscribe to their Internet services.
4 Click Manage Network. You'll see this under the router's name under the "Your WiFi Networks" header.
5 Select and delete the original text in the password field, then type in a new password. Once you delete the previous text, you can enter a new password. Once you change the password or name, the network information on your other devices (like your Wi-Fi doorbell) will no longer work.
To change the network name, select and delete the original text in the "Name" field and enter the new name.
6 Click Save. You'll see this button below the password field. Your password will change and you will be signed out of the network on all devices using that network (your laptops and computers, smartphones, Wi-Fi cameras, printers, etc).
