Did you get a new WIFI modem from MTN and wish to change the password? You are at the right place. I will show you how to change the MTN WiFi password in a few simple steps, but before then. Why do you even need to change your WIFI network?
I have unknowingly allowed people to use my network, which has made me a victim as I pay for a subscription while others benefit from my data for free. I opened a sports betting center using both an Airtel and MTN router. Initially, I was using the default PIN, but I soon noticed that my subscription was depleting much faster than expected. This prompted me to investigate further.
To cut a long story short, I discovered that many people have gained access to the network. They were able to look at the back of the two WIFI routers to get the default passwords. I guess you might be facing the same issue, and that’s what we are going to handle right now.
How to change MTN WiFi password (4G LTE Router)
We will be direct and avoid unnecessary talk. Just follow my instructions carefully. Firstly, for you to change your MTN WIFI password, you must be closer and able to connect to the network. That is to say, if you are far or not able to connect to the Wifi, then you might not be able to change the PIN or Password.
Step 1.
Check the back of the MTN WIFI router/modem to get the default admin username, password, and access PIN. Most of the MTN WIFI default login details are as follows:
- Username: admin
- Pass: admin
- PIN: normally a 6-digit PIN containing some numbers and letters\
Now, with these details, you will be able to gain access to your new WIFI network interface where you can change your password, change network settings, and more.
Step 2.
Since you have all the login details, it’s time to access the network interface. You will need the correct network code to log in.
- Open your phone or laptop browser and write these network IPs: 92.168.0.1 or 192.168.8.1.
- Send after typing the IP correctly, and you will be taken to the network settings page.
- Use the username and password that you got from step 1 to log in.
Step 3.
- Go to WiFi Settings. Once logged in:
- Click Settings
- Then navigate to WLAN or WiFi Settings
- Select Basic Settings or SSID Settings
- Change the Password
You will find fields for the WiFi name (SSID) and password. Change the WiFi password to one of your choices. You may also rename your WiFi name (SSID) if desired. Click “Apply” or “Save.” Your device will disconnect and restart. After it restarts, reconnect using the new password.
Can’t log in to your WIFI Admin page
You may use the provided default login details, but most time it fails, leaving you stranded. Don’t worry, there is a way to fix it when you can’t log in. There is always a reset button on almost every WIFI router modem that can be used to reset the device. Here’s how to reset most MTN WiFi devices:
- Look for a reset hole or button (usually at the back).
- Use a pin or sharp object to press and hold it for about 10–15 seconds.
- The device will restart and reset to factory settings.
- You can now log in with the default admin username and password.
Note: Resetting the MTN Wifi to its default settings will delete the old username, network PIN, and passwords. If this occurs, you will need to change the network password or PIN again.
How to Change MTN ZLT M30 or MIFI Pro Router Password
This is another popular router, especially for MTN Broadband services. Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Connect your device to the MTN WiFi network

- Look for the SSID Configuration.
- Change the WiFi password and click Apply. Done!
Your MTN ZLT device now has a new password.

If you are using the MTN 5G router, the steps are similar, but the interface might look more modern or slightly different. Steps:
- Connect to your MTN 5G router. Visit: 192.168.1.1
- Log in using your admin credentials
- Navigate to WiFi Settings or WLAN
- Find the SSID/password section
- Update your password and click Save/Apply
How to Change MTN Broadband WiFi Password Using the MyMTN App
If your device supports it, you may be able to change your password using the MyMTN App. Here’s how:
- Download and install the MyMTN App from Google Play or App Store
- Log in with your MTN number
- Select the Broadband or MiFi device section
- Tap on Manage WiFi settings

Note: Not all MTN WiFi devices support remote password change via the app. If you don’t see the option, use the web method instead.
