How to Change Your Spectranet Password and SSID (WiFi Name)

There’s no doubt that Spectranet offers some of the most affordable MiFi devices in Nigeria, along with fast and budget-friendly internet data plans. If you’ve recently purchased a Spectranet MiFi or router, it probably came with a default SSID (WiFi name) and password. While this makes setup convenient, it also means that anyone who knows the device’s default login can connect without permission.

To secure your connection and personalise your device, it’s a good idea to update both your SSID and password. Whether you’re using a Spectranet Ace, Evo, Pebble, or CPE model, this step-by-step guide from Naijaknowhow will help you do it easily.
