Change the Password
The default password that you use to log in to the WiFi bridge/extender is password. Best
practice is that you change this default password to a secure password.
Changing the default password is not the same as changing the password for wireless
access. The label on your WiFi bridge/extender shows your unique wireless network name
(SSID) and the passphrase (also referred to as the wireless network password or network
key) for wireless access (see Label on page 10).
 To change the default password that you use to log in to the WiFi bridge/extender:
1. Log in to the WiFi bridge/extender.
