1. Preparation: What you need to change your password

Before logging into your personal account, please check:

• 📶 Internet connection: You must be online (via cable or Wi-Fi). If you forgot your current Wi-Fi password, connect to the router via a wired connection.
• 🔑 MGTS personal account login and password: This is usually the phone number or email address associated with the contract. If you don't remember it, restore access in advance.
• 📱 Input device: A computer, laptop, or smartphone. On a phone, it's easier to use the browser in landscape mode.
• 🔄 Backup login method: If your Wi-Fi connection disconnects after changing your password, be prepared to connect via cable or use mobile internet.

If you have MGTS router for rent (for example, models ZTE H298A or Eltex NTU-RG-1402G-W), check your contract: sometimes the provider blocks changing Wi-Fi settings through your personal account. In this case, you'll have to call support at 8 800 250-0-250.

2. Login to your MGTS personal account: step-by-step instructions

Open your browser and go to the official MGTS website at lk.mgts.ruIf the page doesn't open, check:

• 🔌 Internet connection (an ad blocker may be interfering with loading).
• 🔒 Correctness of the address - scammers often register similar domains (for example, lk-mgts.ru).
• 📵 No VPN – some MGTS services block access through anonymizers.

On the login page, enter:

1. Login — phone number (in the format 79XXXXXXXXX), email or personal account.
2. Password — If you forgot, click "Restore access" and follow the instructions (you will need access to your email or SMS).
3. Captcha — enter the characters from the image (sometimes this step is skipped).

After logging in, you'll be taken to the main page of your personal account. Here you'll see:

• 📊 Balance and payment history.
• 📡 Connected services (Internet, TV, telephone).
• ⚙️ The "Manage Services" button is what we need.

3. Where can I change my Wi-Fi password in my MGTS personal account?

After logging into your account, find the section Internet or My services (the exact name depends on the interface version). Next:

1. Select a tab Wi-Fi settings (may be called "Wireless Network" or "Router").
2. If you have multiple devices (for example, a router + repeater), select the one for which you want to change the password.
3. Click the button Change password or Security settings.

In the window that opens you will see:

• 🔄 Current network name (SSID): You can change it too if you want.
• 🔐 New password field: The requirements for it are usually indicated nearby (for example, at least 8 characters, numbers and letters are required).
• 📋 Encryption type: leave WPA2-PSK (the safest option).

• You have an outdated router model that does not support remote password change.

What should I do if the "Wi-Fi Settings" section is missing from my personal account?
