How to Change Wifi Password of Tenda Router (Quick & Easy Guide)

The Tenda AC21 was my first router, and when I bought it, I was really happy. Although it was cheap, being my first-ever router, I was really happy and wanted to make many changes to optimize the performance.

But at that time, I didn’t even know how routers operate (maybe this happens to lots of us). The broadband guy came over and made changes according to their needs and what I told him to do. He also changed the WiFi password for me and gave it to me – but now he knows the password, and I couldn’t even sleep properly that night; all I could think about was changing the password of my Tenda router.

Later, I started searching on Google for ways to change the Tenda router password and saw only a few guides available for this – but they didn’t carry proper information. Thus, I faced lots of issues while changing my password. Recently, a person came to me asking about a similar issue, and now, being CEH-certified, I thought, why not share this guide with everyone through my blog? And that’s why I’m writing this article for people struggling to change their router password.

In this guide, I’ll share every step you need to follow based on my experience and expertise. So, let’s get started…
