Hi Aaron,
Suppose you encounter a hidden network in your router that you never
assigned, besides your networkname?
Once you're in your router can you delete the hidden network.
After opening your internet and typing 191.168.1.1
Typing ADMIN, then the password
The router should open.
And how do you upgrade the routers firmware to date?
Also Aaron, can I change the password to another password that you only
share with family to log on their devices, when they visit?
To secure the router in case, someone tried some funny business?
Thanks,
Jorge

Hi.
If you have secured your WiFi network with a good security protocol, the
best to my knowledge of which would be "WPA2 Personal), then as long as
nobody can get through that and join your network, as long as noone can
physically plug a device into your hardwired switch which most routers also
include, as long as nobody can get onto one of your own computers either by
physically accessing it or by remotely accessing it, as long as you don't
give your WiFi password to the wrong person and they do bad things with it,
as long as you're not using Ethernet over Power and someone manages to join
that network, you're pretty secure as far as that goes. That having been
said, y ou should very well be able to change the administrator password for
your router, and just be able to remember that if someone does need it.
