modem router to a more secure password. This is the password that you use to log in to the
modem router with the user name admin.
The ideal password contains no dictionary words from any language and contains uppercase
and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. It can be up to 30 characters.
Note: This admin password is not the password that you use for WiFi access.
The label on your modem router shows your unique WiFi network
