Why Change Your Eero WiFi Network Name and Password?
There are a few key reasons you may want to change your primary Eero WiFi network name (SSID) and password:
- Security: Changing your WiFi password periodically improves security and prevents unauthorized access to your network. I recommend changing it at least once a year.
- Simplicity: Using the same network name and password across all your Eero networks streamlines connecting devices as you move locations.
- Personalization: You may want to customize your network name to be more personal or fun.
No matter the reason, changing these settings only takes a few minutes.
