How to view and change Wi-Fi settings on your Hitron wireless modem

• Your username and password to log in to your Hitron modem.
  • Your username is cusadmin.
  • Your password is your Wi-Fi network password (if you have a Hitron 4582 wireless modem) or "password" (if you have a Hitron 3552 wireless modem)
• A computer and web browser to connect to the internet.

1. In a web browser, type 192.168.0.1 in the address bar, and then press the Enter key on your keyboard.
2. Log in by using your username and password.
   
   From here, select the menu options at the top of the page to view and manage settings for your Wi-Fi network.

1. At the top of the page, click Wireless.
2. Click the Access Control tab, and then next to Connected Devices, click Show.
   
   You’ll see a list of the devices that are connected to your network along with information such as name, IP address, MAC address, and status.

1. At the top of the page, click Wireless.
2. Click the Basic Settings tab, and then click 2.4G.

   Note If band steering is enabled, your Wi-Fi network name and password are the same for both your 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz network. If you want to use a different network name or password for your 5 GHz network, you'll have to first disable band steering. To do this, next to Band Steering, click Disabled.

After you change your Wi-Fi network name, you’ll have to update the Wi-Fi settings on your computer and devices to connect to your new Wi-Fi network name. If you don’t know where to find the Wi-Fi settings, see the documentation for your computer or device.

It’s a good idea to change your password from time to time to maintain security. Make sure you choose a strong password that people can’t easily guess. Use a mix of random numbers and letters for better security.
