Router Channels

[Marcus Torre DeProspero]

I want to change the channel on my router but I don't know how. I am using a standard verizon router that they sent us. Is there anyway to change it?

I honestly don't know. I didn't even know they had different models. I am not big in networking and such.

You would need to access the verizon routers settings. This can be done through a web browser by typing in the ip address of the router, usually 192.168.2.1 or you can go google it. You may need a password to access the settings though.

If it came with a manual I'd suggest checking it for how to change the channel if it can at all.

sorry I thought it would be a little more complicated I'll go check it out and tell you how it goes.

That's usually the SSID and password of the WiFi network.

From this user guide from http://www.cisco.com/web/consumer/support/modem_DPC3939.html, the default username is "admin" and password is "password".
