How to access your wifi gaming router's settings: Change wifi gaming router settings

1. Once you've logged into your wifi gaming router via a connected browser, you should have free reign to change whatever settings you wish. Most modern wifi gaming router will offer an array of tweakable options in a simplified graphical interface, so it should be pretty straightforward to change settings like the Wi-Fi password, the Wi-Fi network name, which websites are blocked, whether there's a guest Wi-Fi network, and more.

Many modern wifi gaming router offer automated guides to at least some of these settings, and we recommend you consult the router's documentation (or Google) before changing anything you don't understand.

If something catastrophic happens and your wifi gaming router no longer works the way you want, you can always reset it (using the afore-mentioned reset button) back to factory default settings.

2. Once you've accomplished whatever you came to do, consider taking a moment to look over your wifi gaming router's security settings and make sure they're up to snuff.

For example, if you're still using the wifi gaming router's default username and password, you should change them post-haste — if you can look up your router's login details on the Internet, other people could too!
