学习如何更改路由器设置有无数的理由。例如，您可能想要更改 Wi-Fi 密码或网络名称或设置家长控制。虽然这个过程一开始可能看起来很吓人，但它非常简单。放心(Rest)；您将在接下来的几分钟内了解如何访问路由器设置。
路由器的接口和接入点因制造商而异。本指南将引导您完成更改路由器设置的步骤。
如何以管理员身份访问您的路由器(Router)
在开始之前，请确保您已通过以太网(Ethernet)电缆或无线网络连接到路由器。打开浏览器以访问路由器的固件。在URL(URL)栏中输入192.168.0.1 或 192.168.1.1 — 这些应该在大多数情况下都可以使用。如果没有，您需要先找到路由器的 IP 地址(router’s IP address)。
如果 IP 地址有效，路由器的固件会询问您的用户名和密码。如果您自己没有设置不同的用户名和密码，则必须输入路由器的默认凭据(router’s default credentials)。不同品牌的默认设置也不同，但许多品牌使用admin作为默认用户名和密码(password )作为默认密码。
如果您仍然无法登录路由器，请检查您的路由器是否具有忘记密码(Forgot Password )功能。作为最后的手段，您可以硬重置您的路由器(hard reset your router)。不过，重置路由器需要您从头开始重新配置。因此，如果这是您唯一的选择，请选择这条路线。
重置路由器后，使用路由器的默认用户名-密码组合，您将登陆路由器的主页。
更改路由器密码
现在您可以访问路由器的固件，让我们看看如何更改路由器的密码。这也是硬重置后开始重新配置路由器后的第一步。同样(Again)，这在您的路由器上可能看起来略有不同，但该过程在路由器型号之间应该保持相同。
您的路由器通常会有一个名为“管理(Administration)”的部分或类似的部分。更改路由器登录凭据的选项应位于本节中。例如，在中兴 F660上，有一个名为“(ZTE F660)用户管理(User Management )”的子部分用于更改密码。许多路由器不允许更改用户名，但您的可能。
确保您设置了一个不易猜到的安全密码。(secure password)然后，应用并保存新设置。如果路由器需要重新启动，您需要使用新密码重新登录。
更改您的 Wi-Fi 密码和 SSID
如果您怀疑有人掌握了您当前的 Wi-Fi 密码，请立即更改。查找名为无线设置(Wireless Settings)或WLAN 设置(WLAN settings)（或类似内容）的部分。
在此部分中查找密码设置。选择一个强密码并选择WPA2-PSK ( AES ) 作为身份验证类型以获得最佳安全性。
如果您使用路由器的默认设置，您也可以更改您的SSID 。例如，如果您的SSID是D-Link，并且您所在地区有多个使用该名称的无线网络，您可能需要将其更改为可识别的名称。
更改密码和SSID后，应用设置并重新启动路由器。
更改您的 Wi-Fi 频道
无线路由器通过各种频段进行通信，每个频段都分为多个通道。将频段(Think)视为道路，将通道视为数据传输的通道。现代路由器支持 2.4GHz 和 5GHz 频段。5GHz 频段不太可能拥挤，如果您所在地区有许多Wi-Fi网络，这将是一个不错的选择。
如果您使用 2.4GHz 频段，则通道 1、6 和 11 是不错的选择，因为它们不会重叠。如果您在 5GHz 频段，则除DFS（动态频率选择(Dynamic Frequency Selection)）以外的所有频道都可以正常工作。
如果您想了解更多信息以找到合适的 Wi-Fi 通道，您可以使用NetSpot等网络分析仪。如果所有这些听起来很复杂，只需选择上面讨论的频道，一切都应该正常。
确定要使用的频道后，再次导航到路由器的无线设置。在无线设置部分的某处，您会看到一个带有频道选项的下拉菜单。
选择通道后，选择应用(Apply)并重新启动路由器。
你现在处于控制之中
您现在知道如何访问和更改路由器设置。路由器的固件具有大量设置，可让您更好地控制 Wi-Fi 网络。例如，您可以禁用 SSID 广播(disable SSID broadcast)，使您的 Wi-Fi 更安全(make your Wi-Fi more secure)，甚至使用 DNS 阻止您的路由器访问网站(block websites from your router using DNS)。
How to Access and Change Your WiFi Router Settings
There are countless reasons to learn how to change router settings. For example, you might want to change your Wi-Fi password or network name or set up parental controls. While the process may seem intimidating at first, it’s pretty sіmple. Rest assured; you’ll know how to access router settings within the next few minutеs.
The router’s interface and access point differ among manufacturers. This guide will walk you through the steps to change your router settings.
How to Access Your Router as an Administrator
Before starting, ensure that you’re connected to your router via an Ethernet cable or a wireless network. Open a browser to access your router’s firmware. Type 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 in the URL bar — these should work in most cases. If they don’t, you’ll need to first find your router’s IP address.
If the IP address works, the router’s firmware will ask for your username and password. If you haven’t set a different username and password yourself, you must enter the router’s default credentials. Defaults differ across brands too, but many brands use admin as the default username and password as the default password.
If you’re still unable to log into the router, check if your router has a Forgot Password feature. As a last resort, you could hard reset your router. Resetting the router will require you to reconfigure it from scratch, though. So take this route if it’s your only option.
When the router is reset, use the default username-password combination for your router, and you’ll land on the router’s home page.
Change Router Password
Now that you can access the router’s firmware let’s look at how to change your router’s password. This will also be one of the first steps after you begin reconfiguring the router after a hard reset. Again, this may look slightly different on your router, but the process should remain the same across router models.
Your router will usually have a section called Administration or something similar. The option to change your router’s login credentials should be somewhere in this section. For example, on the ZTE F660, there’s a sub-section called User Management for changing the password. A lot of routers don’t allow changing the username, but yours might.
Ensure that you set a secure password, one that’s not easy to guess. Then, apply and save the new settings. If the router needs a reboot, you’ll need to log back in using your new password.
Change Your Wi-Fi Password and SSID
If you suspect someone has their hands on your current Wi-Fi password, change it right away. Look for a section named Wireless Settings or WLAN settings (or something similar).
Look for the password settings in this section. Choose a strong password and select WPA2-PSK (AES) as the authentication type for best security.
You could also change your SSID if you’re using the router’s default. If your SSID is D-Link, for instance, and there are multiple wireless networks with that name in your area, you may want to change it to something recognizable.
When you’ve changed your password and SSID, apply the settings and reboot the router.
Change Your Wi-Fi Channel
A wireless router communicates via various bands, each of which is split into channels. Think of the bands as a road and channels as lanes through which your data travels. Modern routers support both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. The 5GHz band is less likely to be crowded, which makes it a good choice if your area has many Wi-Fi networks.
If you’re using the 2.4GHz band, channels 1, 6, and 11 are good choices because they don’t overlap. If you’re on the 5GHz band, all channels other than DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) work well.
If you want more information to find a suitable Wi-Fi channel, you could use a network analyzer like NetSpot. If all of this sounds complicated, just pick the channels discussed above, and everything should work fine.
When you’ve decided which channel you want to use, navigate to your router’s wireless settings again. Somewhere in the wireless settings section, you’ll see a dropdown menu with channel options.
When you’ve selected a channel, select Apply and restart the router.
You’re Now in Control
You now know how to access router settings and change them. The router’s firmware has a large group of settings that gives you more control over your Wi-Fi network. For instance, you could disable SSID broadcast, make your Wi-Fi more secure, or even block websites from your router using DNS.
