The password and default username for majority of the wireless home routers are widely known online. Therefore, it is important to change these two credentials immediately right after successfully logging on to your wireless router. Come up with a username with numbers and letters that appear in random order and you can make it as long as you want. Just make it a point to memorize it. Do not make it shorter than 6 letters. Create a password that is tricky and difficult to guess. Use special characters, numbers and letters in random order. Make your password long preferable more than 8 characters.
