How to Change Your Spectrum Router SSID and Password

- On the main page of the Spectrum Router, click the Advanced button at the top of the window.

- Click the Basic tab.
- In the SSID field, enter a new name for your WiFi network.
- To change the WiFi password, go to Security Settings. Enter your new password in the WiFi Password field and confirm it by typing it again.
- Click Apply to save the changes. The router will reboot, and once it restarts, the new SSID and password will be active for your WiFi network.
