How to set a password on a Yota Wi-Fi router

The process of how to set or change the password for a Yota Wi-Fi router for connection is carefully described in the technical data sheet of the device, however, these instructions are of a purely technical nature. After reading the description, only a small number of users will be able to understand what is being said, so a simpler algorithm was developed. It is almost impossible to make a mistake that will lead to an irreparable failure of the router, so anyone can do this work on their own - the help of expensive specialists is unlikely to be useful.

However, if you understand that the functioning of the device is impaired, you can always completely reset the settings to factory settings. Thanks to the presence of this function, you can “break” the router only by causing irreparable mechanical damage.

Why set a password?

Is it really necessary to set a password on your device? Securing your wireless connection is a top priority and has many implications, including:

• connection speed;
• Internet stability;
• security of personal data and files;
• compliance with current legislation.

One of the most important characteristics of any Internet connection is its speed. When a large number of users connect, it decreases so much that loading one site can take up to several minutes. This situation is clearly visible in public places – lovers of “freebies” can be found everywhere. A particularly acute problem arises if the client has a limited tariff set up, or is in roaming - then significant financial costs are coming. If the router does not ask for the Iota 4G password to connect, this means that comfortable Internet surfing is at risk.

The security of personal data is also very important. According to modern requirements, almost all Wi-Fi networks are protected using the WPA2-PSK protocol, which helps prevent data leakage. If the router is not configured properly, then a single local network is formed among all connected devices.

In this case, all information becomes publicly available, including personal photos, contact information, videos, messages and much more. Moreover, unauthorized persons and attackers can infect the device with malicious software that will disrupt the operation of all devices on the network.

Another problem could be the use of the Wi-Fi network by attackers. If users who were connected to the router commit a crime, charges of violating the law will be brought against the subscriber providing access. It is unlikely that he will suffer a full prison sentence, but such a situation will create a lot of problems. You shouldn't risk your safety because of laziness.
