The reasons can vary, from the banal desire to set a more memorable network name (SSID) to the need to improve security after a current password leak.

1. Preparing to change Wi-Fi settings

Before you begin changing your login and password, make sure you have everything you need:

• 🔌 Connecting to a router — via cable (LAN) or via your current Wi-Fi. For reliability, we recommend using a wired connection, especially if you plan to change the network name (SSID).
• 💻 Device with a browser — a computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Any modern browser will do: Chrome, Firefox, Edge or Safari.
• 📝 Router login details - it's usually a combination admin/admin or indicated on the device's sticker. If you don't know them, see the section "What to do if you forgot your router login/password."
• ⚡ Backup power supply - if the router is connected via UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), make sure it's charged. Interrupting the setup process may cause the system to malfunction.

Also check if there is a physical button on the router. WPS — accidentally pressing it during setup may reset some parameters. If the button exists, it's best to disable the function. WPS in the security settings (more on this in the section on network protection).

2. Login to the Dom.ru router control panel

To change the network name (SSID) and password, you first need to log into the router's web interface. To do this:

1. Open your browser and enter one of the IP addresses in the address bar:
   • 192.168.0.1 (the most common option for routers Dom.ru)
   • 192.168.1.1 (alternative address)
   • dom.ru or my.dom.ru (does not work on all models)

If the page doesn't open, check your connection to the router or try a different browser. You can also use the command ipconfig (For Windows) or ifconfig (For Mac/Linux) in the terminal to find out the default gateway - this will be the required IP.

Enter your login and password. The standard data is usually indicated on the router sticker (for example, admin/password or user/user). If they don't work, see the section on resetting settings.

After successfully logging in, you'll see the main page of the control panel. The interface may vary depending on your router model, but the Wi-Fi settings section is usually called Wireless, WLAN or Wireless network.

What should I do if my router's IP address has changed?

If you've previously changed your network settings or reconfigured your router, its IP address may have changed. To find the current address, run the following command in the terminal: arp -a (Windows) or nmap -sn 192.168.0.0/24 (Linux/Mac). In the list of devices, look for the line with the name of your router (e.g., Sagemcom or DomRu).

3. Step-by-step instructions: how to change your Wi-Fi name and password

Now let's move on to changing your wireless network settings. Let's look at the process using a router as an example. Sagemcom F@st 5364 - one of the most common models among subscribers Dom.ru.

• 📶 Enable or disable network name broadcasting (Broadcast SSID). If you disable this option, your network will become "hidden", but it can still be found manually.

Step 3: Change the Wi-Fi password

Go to the section Security or Wireless Security. Here:

• 🔒 In the field Password, Passphrase or Network Key Enter a new password. The recommended length is at least 12 characters, using capital letters, numbers and special characters (for example, My$ecureW1F1_2026!).
• 🛡️ Check the encryption type: it must be specified WPA2-PSK or WPA3-PSK. If only available WEP, urgently update your router firmware - this standard is outdated and unsafe.

Step 4: Saving the settings

5. How to reset a Dom.ru router to factory settings

If you have forgotten your login/password for the control panel or your router is unstable, you may need to full reset (hard reset). This will return all settings to factory defaults, including the Wi-Fi name and password.

To reset:

1. Find the small button on the back of the router. Reset (usually recessed into the body).

6. Additional Wi-Fi security settings

Changing your password is just the first step in securing your network. To minimize the risk of hacking or unauthorized access, we also recommend:

• 📡 Hide network (disable broadcast SSID) - This won't make your Wi-Fi completely invisible, but it will reduce the number of random connection attempts.
• 🔄 Update your router's firmware — Outdated software may contain critical vulnerabilities. Check for updates in the section System Tools or Administration.
• 🛡️ Enable MAC address filtering — Allow connections only to trusted devices. However, this method isn't 100% secure, as MAC addresses can be spoofed.
• 🌐 Use a guest network If you have frequent guests, create a separate network with limited access to local resources.

It is also worth changing the Wi-Fi password regularly (every 3-6 months) and checking the list of connected devices in the section DHCP Clients or Connected DevicesIf you discover any unknown devices, immediately change the password and disconnect them from the network.

How to check who is connected to your Wi-Fi?
