How to change the password on a County Broadband Wireless Router

WARNING ----- if you change the WiFi password on your wireless router resulting in your Internet connection failing then CBB will charge you to fix the problem

Why you may wish to change your SSID and Password

If you are operating your WiFi facility in a public location, such as a village hall, you may wish to have the "hot-spot" called something like "Village Hall" or "VH WiFi". You may also want to restrict access to the WiFi at certain times, such as when you are running a Quiz Night, so that the "quizzers" can't surreptitiously look-up the answers.

The GR241AG - FGW - Fibre Gateway also allows you to configure "Guest" Networks.

The proceedure

You can access the settings of your GR241AG - FGW - Fibre Gateway - Wireless Router using your computer, tablet or mobile phone using the browser-based interface. Simple type the gateway address into the URL box of your browser and it will open the confinguration utility for the router.

Once logged-in the router utility you can navigate your way around various screens. These are fairly self explanatory but I will add a few screen-shots here.
