According to the CompTIA Tech+ Study Guide (Exam FC0-U71, 3rd Edition, 2025), one of the five critical steps when configuring a wireless router is to change the administrator username and password:
“The Wi-Fi Alliance lists five critical keys to setting up a secured wireless router:
Change the router’s SSID.
Change the administrator username and password. Make sure that it’s a strong password.
Enable WPA3 or WPA2 Personal.
Choose a strong security passphrase.
Connect clients using the same security mode.”
This ensures unauthorized users cannot log in to the router’s settings.
