How to change your Huawei Fibre routers WiFi name and password

All our routers are pre-configured with WiFi login details for your convenience, and it should just be a simple plug and play process.

If you wish to change these details, it can be done by accessing the router and changing the details. Changing your internet password will not only make it more memorable but also more secure.
