How to change the password of DU Wi-Fi device and why?
A few months ago, I had to buy a DU device because I needed more internet and faster data speed to complete my projects. If you live in a 5G area, then you get its speed very fast. Now I turned it on and started using it after inserting the SIM card. After a few days, I noticed that its speed was slow. When I logged in as admin, I saw that there were 8 new devices connected to it. Then I thought of changing its password.
Just like I changed the password of my device, I will guide you step by step. You have to follow me so that you don’t face any problems.
Step by step guide to change Du WiFi password
Access the router’s login page:

- Enter the router’s IP address in the URL bar. The common IP address for Du routers is 192.168.1.1, 192.168.70.1, or 192.168.0.1.
If you don’t know the IP address, you can go to your device’s Wi-Fi settings and go to the currently connected Wi-Fi details. There, you will see a gateway option where you will see the login IP.
