How do i cHange ssid password on my computer - Computers & Internet

Looks like no one is going to jump on this one... The one reason I'd make the change is to block someone who has access to my network.

I don't advise the inexperienced administrator tackle this task either. However, you asked. The way you worded the question leads me to suspect you need some background too. I'll give you my best answer. Hang on!

A "Router" (wired or wireless) is the device that resides (electronically) between your Internet connected devices/computers/printers and the Internet. It was most likely installed by your Internet Service Provider. Computers (printers and other devices) connected to a router wirelessly (WiFi) need to know the name (SSID) and password (WEP WPA-PSK key) of the local wireless network (router). The name and key (password) is set at/on your router when it is first installed and can be changed by logging into the router as an administrator. Be advised once you change it on the router your computer(s) will be disconnected from the router and will be required to supply the new key to reconnect.

You didn't specify who your Internet Service Provider is or the manufacturer and model of your router so I can't be of specific help on exactly how to log into your router to make the change. You didn't specify your system's OS (Apple, PC Windows X, Lenux, etc). If you do not have the owner manual for your router get it before going any further. Get:
·Manufacturer and model info.
·Download the manual from web.
·Find, on your computer where you access the WiFi. On a PC:
A- "Right" click and "Open Network and Sharing Center" the "network Internet access" icon in the System Tray (Extreme lower right of Start Bar [where clock is at]) Usually the icon looks like a monitor. Once the "Network Sharing Center" is up:
B- Left click "See Full Map"
C- Once the map is displayed poise the mouse over the router's icon and it should give you it's address. It is usually 192.168.x.x (x= variable numbers). Make a note of the address. Accessing the router with a browser (such as I.E., Firefox, or Chrome) will require you know the router's administrator account and password. Enter the address where the "www.x.com address stuff is usually at.
D- Once you're in the router you can change the key. Make sure you enter it accurately. Once you've saved the changes you will be kicked out of the router.
E- Reconnect your computer with the new key by left click on the icon mentioned in "A" above.

NOTE: It is easy to lock yourself out of your own system. If you're not comfortable doing this call in a professional.

Good Luck
