You might be able to find it in the online manual for the router... check the manufacture's website for the manual for your specific modem.<br />

I've always done a hard-reset of the unit (removing the existing WiFi setup) and starting from scratch.

Goo o be reminded of all the options. &nbsp;I am encouraged by Rindi's comment to just leave my WPA passphrase at its current length, since apparently my initial thinking (long, mixed character, mixed case) when I set t up was appropriate.<br />
Thanks, all.

How do I Change Wireless Router Password

I have a Belkin N Wireless router that, in my exuberance for security, I gave a 25 character (excluding spaces) password, when I first set it up.  I would really like to change it to something much shorter because setting up other wireless devices, either new or after software crashes, has become a real headache.
I can&amp;#39;t seem to find a link to reset the password.  Can this be done.
Thanks

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.

Wireless Networking

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
