task is to change the ZTE ZXHN F609 router Default
Login and Password to something more personal and

ZTE ZXHN F609 Router Password Tips:

Choose a complex and hard-to-guess

password for your ZTE which only you
can remember
It should be something personal, like
&ilostmyvirginity@30, so that you will
never forget it. Ever

Protect it
The amount of protection directly depends
on the password complexity, and the effort
taken to protect that password of your ZTE
ZXHN F609 router

Usability first
Give Password for your ZTE ZXHN F609
router that you can remember (usability
first). Of course, you can build a strong
hash password with special character,
numbers, greek and latin. But ultimately
you will endup writing it on a sticky and
putting it on the router which defeats the
purpose. Here’s an example
$lasttriptovegas0916

3.Change ZTE ZXHN F609 Default WiFi name (SSID)

and WiFi Password and enable Network Encryption

Another small suggestion (as it has no impact on

security), is to change the ZTE ZXHN F609 Default WiFi
name (SSID) as it will make it more obvious for others to
know which network they are connecting to.

Steps:

1. Look for - Network (found in the left hand side menu

bar) , and click on it
2. Look for - WLAN (found in the left hand side menu
bar) , and click on it
3. Look for - SSID Settings (found in the left hand side
menu bar), and click on it

Look for Network Name (SSID), this is the WiFi name of

your ZTE ZXHN F609 Router. Don’t use your name,
home address or other personal information (since this
isn’t a Facebook status!) in the SSID name. (No
Mr.Paul&Princy) Few funny WiFi name suggestions: I’m
cheating on my WiFi!, FBI Surveillance Van #594 (scares
away stupid criminals), Lord of the Pings...

Once you enter the name for your network, you have to
enable WPA2-PSK encryption on your ZTE ZXHN F609
router. That’s the strongest encryption standard available
for home networks.

Enter a new WPA Pre-Shared Key / WiFi Password – this

is the password that you will use to connect to your home
WiFi. Keep it 16-20 characters and (please!) don’t use
the same password that you used for ZTE ZXHN F609
router login!

not facing the wall or behind the curtains

consume a lot of bandwidth. Although this can sort of
defeat the purpose of having wireless network, but it can
