How to Change WiFi Password via 10.0.0.1
Last updated: June 2026
To change your WiFi password at 10.0.0.1, open http://10.0.0.1, sign in with the admin login, and open Wireless or WLAN settings.
Why Should You Change Your WiFi Password?
A new password instantly drops every device that does not know it. So strangers camping on your signal get cut off at once. It is smart to change it after a move, after sharing it widely, or if your speed suddenly drops from unknown users.
A Piso WiFi machine is a coin-operated WiFi device in the Philippines. On one, the WiFi password decides who can see and join the network. Refreshing it stops old users from leeching free time.
What to Do Before You Start
Before you change anything, get the admin login ready and plan your new key. The admin login opens the panel; it is not the WiFi password. Every device will drop, so do this in a quiet hour and have your new password chosen first.
- You need the admin login for the panel, not the WiFi password.
- Be ready to reconnect every device. They will all drop.
- Pick a new password first: 8+ characters, letters and numbers.
- Do it in a quiet hour so paying customers are not cut off mid-session.
Not sure of the admin login? Sort that out first, or you cannot reach the wireless settings at all.
Changing the Password at 10.0.0.1
Open http://10.0.0.1, sign in, and go to the Wireless or WLAN settings. Replace the password field, set security to WPA2 or WPA3, and tap Save. The board may reboot for a few seconds. On some boards you must update both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz entries.
- Connect to the network. Open http://10.0.0.1 in a browser.
- Log in with the admin login (often admin / admin or blank).
- Open Wireless, WiFi, or WLAN Settings.
- Find the field named Password, Pre-Shared Key, or WPA Key.
- Delete the old value. Type your new password.
- Set the security mode to WPA2, or WPA3 if your board has it.
- Tap Save or Apply. The board may reboot for a few seconds.
The 10.0.0.1 admin login reference shows where these menus sit on most boards.
Building a Strong Password
A strong WiFi password is at least 8 characters, mixes letters and numbers, and avoids anything guessable. Skip names, birthdays, and the shop address. A few unrelated words joined with a number is both strong and easy to recall. WPA2 or WPA3 encryption then protects it.
| Do | Avoid |
|---|---|
| 8+ characters | Names, birthdays, phone numbers |
| Mix letters, numbers, a symbol | Words like “password” or “12345678” |
| Something you can recall | The factory default key |
| A few words joined together | The shop name or address |
Do not reuse a password from another account. If it leaks, you do not want it opening your WiFi too.
How Do You Reconnect Your Devices?
After you save, every device is disconnected. On each phone, laptop, or TV, forget the old network and join again with the new password. If a device keeps failing, remove the saved network fully and rejoin, because phones cache the old key.
Smart TVs and CCTV cameras are easy to overlook. List everything that connects and work through it one by one.
What If 10.0.0.1 Will Not Open?
You cannot change anything if the panel will not load. Make sure you are on the network, not mobile data, and using http rather than https. If it still fails, restart the device and reconnect before trying again.
- See our help when you cannot reach the admin page.
- Read the fixes when 10.0.0.1 is not working.
- Check the guide for when it refused to connect.
Forgot the admin password too? A factory reset restores the admin login and the default WiFi key, but it wipes your time rates, so use it as a last resort. After saving, rejoin one device with the new key to confirm the change is live.
Frequently Asked Questions (2026)
How do I change my WiFi password on 10.0.0.1?
Log in to http://10.0.0.1, open the Wireless or WLAN settings, replace the password/PSK field, set WPA2, and tap Save. Then reconnect your devices.
What is the difference between the admin password and the WiFi password?
The admin password lets you into the 10.0.0.1 control panel; the WiFi password is the key devices use to join the network. They are separate settings.
Will changing the WiFi password disconnect everyone?
Yes. Every connected device drops and must rejoin with the new password — which is exactly how you remove freeloaders.
I forgot the admin login for 10.0.0.1. Can I still change the WiFi password?
Not without admin access. Do a factory reset to restore the default admin login, then sign in and set a new WiFi password.
How often should I change my WiFi password?
Change it whenever you suspect the key has been shared too widely, after the default has been left in place, or every few months as routine hygiene.
