Your WiFi password changed to something secure (and memorable if you want), then all your devices reconnected so everything keeps working. Simple security update sorted in one visit.
### When You Need To Change WiFi Password
Maybe you've **given your password to too many people** over the years. Maybe you think the neighbours are using it. Maybe you just moved in and don't want the previous owner's guests turning up and having access.
Or - and this is really common - you want to change from the impossible-to-remember default password to something you can actually tell people.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** The annoying part of changing WiFi password isn't changing it on the router (that's 2 minutes). It's reconnecting every single device in your house. Smart TV, phones, tablets, Alexa, Ring doorbell, smart heating, security cameras... it adds up fast.

This is the quick bit. ### Step 3: Reconnect Everything Go through every device in the house reconnecting to WiFi with new password.

Good to Know
> 🔐 **Security concern?** If you genuinely think someone's accessing your network without permission, I can also change the router admin password and check what's currently connected. Better safe than sorry. **Smart home heavy?** If you've got loads of smart bulbs, cameras, sensors etc, this job takes longer. I'll give you a time estimate based on how many devices need reconnecting. **Guest network?** Highly recommend setting this up if your router supports it. Means you can give guests WiFi without giving them access to your main network and all your devices.
Frequently Asked Questions about WiFi password change in Newton Abbot
Why would I need to change my WiFi password?
Common reasons: you think neighbours are using it, you've given it to someone you no longer trust, you're selling the house, or you just moved in and want to change from the previous owner's password. Or you've got the default 'xH73kJ9pQ2' printed under the router and want something you can actually remember and tell guests.
Will I need to reconnect all my devices?
Yes - phones, tablets, laptops, smart TVs, Ring doorbells, Alexa, smart bulbs, everything that uses WiFi will need the new password. That's the annoying bit. I reconnect everything for you as part of the service, so you don't have to remember what's connected where.
Can you set up a guest network while you're doing this?
Yes, good idea actually. Guest network means visitors can use your WiFi without having your main password, and they can't see your other devices or access shared folders. Most modern routers support this - I'll check yours and set it up if you want.
What if I forget the new password?
I'll write it down somewhere sensible for you - many people stick it inside a kitchen cupboard or in the router manual. I'll also email it to you. And if you've got a password manager on your phone, I can add it there. Basically make sure you can find it again.
My router is from Sky/BT/Virgin - does that make a difference?
Not really - process is similar for all of them, just different menus. I've done hundreds of routers from every provider. Sky and Virgin ones are actually easier than most because the menus are pretty simple.
