Or, if you\u2019re using a password that\u2019s 3-6 months old, you\u2019re still in the red zone. Here are the common risks of not changing your router admin login password:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>1. Unauthorized Account Access<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your router\u2019s admin page is prone to unauthorized access if you don\u2019t update your router\u2019s admin account password. The hacker might lock you out and steal your internet bandwidth or launch attacks using your IP address.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>2. Network Hijacking<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hackers can redirect your internet traffic, monitor all devices connected to the network, and snoop on your online activities. This is possible even on secure sites if DNS is changed.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>3. Malware Installation<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Black hats can change the firmware to install malware or ransomware. They might turn your router into a bot for criminal activities, such as spamming or DDoS attacks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>4. Smart Home Compromise<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve set up a smart home, it might get compromised if a hacker gains unauthorized access to your router\u2019s admin network. They can access all connected devices, such as cameras, doorbells, speakers, TVs, and others. This may result in physical security risks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>5. Permanent Backdoor Access<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The hacker will have admin control even if you keep updating your WiFi password. Hackers can re-enter anytime and regain access.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>FAQs &#8211; Change Router Admin Password<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"accordion\">\n  <div class=\"accordion-item\">\n    <div class=\"accordion-item-header\">\n      How do I change the admin password on my router?    <\/div><!-- \/.accordion-item-header -->\n    <div class=\"accordion-item-body\">\n      <div class=\"accordion-item-body-content\">\n        <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can enter the admin password of your router via the router\u2019s admin page.
