How to create the best possible Wi-Fi name & password for your internet

To ensure your Wi-Fi works smoothly across various devices like desktops, tablets, smartphones, and operating systems, follow these tips for creating a Wi-Fi name and password.

Password guidelines

  • Length: Use 8 - 63 characters. A password with 14 - 15 characters is strong enough to prevent most hacking attempts.
  • Spaces: Avoid spaces at the beginning or end of the password.
  • Special characters: Avoid symbols like #, %, &, ", $, or £.

Wi-Fi name tips

  • Make your Wi-Fi name unique and easy to identify. For example, choose a name starting with "A" to make sure it appears at the top of available networks.
  • Avoid using characters like ?, ", $, [, \, ], +, or apostrophes ('), as they may cause issues for devices like cameras or printers.

Tip: A clear and distinct Wi-Fi name lets others know it’s yours and prevents confusion.
