Established in 1986, Edimax has been producing advanced communication devices for a while now. One of their models, the Edimax BR6228nS is a promising router that can be used for residential spaces and businesses.

When it comes to managing security controls and other network issues, it’s a rule of thumb to change the default credentials that include the username, password, and Service Set Identifier (SSID). 

Any hacker can easily make out the default credentials and get access to it if left unchanged. In this article, we will teach you the finer details on how to modify the credentials of your Edimax BR6228nS router, as well as how to configure other settings as per your preference.

Prerequisites:

If you have the following ready with you, then logging in will be a lot easier with the Edimax BR6228nS.

• See the box of the router as it may contain the login credentials.
• Also, make sure you have a system that is connected to the home network wherein you will be making changes.

5 Steps to Access the Edimax BR6228nS Router

Step 1: Open a Web Browser

You are required to connect your router with an RJ45 cable and see that the network is working. Open a web browser on your system connected to this home network and type the address 192.168.2.1 in the URL or search bar, then hit enter.

Step 2: Enter the Login Credentials

If the IP address is compatible with your router, you will be able to access a login screen asking for a username and password. Here you need to enter the default credentials in case you are entering the details for the first time. If you have already changed the default credentials, prepare the new username and password. Below are the most common login credentials:

• Login Username: admin
• Login Password: 1234

Note: The above combination was found to be correct in 90% of cases.

Step 3: Setting Up Edimax BR6228nS Router Login Details

Now that you have accessed the router settings, see the wireless settings, and carefully look at the default settings and the changes that you are supposed to configure. In case you are getting a poor network connection then try to contact your ISP.

Here you can change the SSID or network name, type of internet connection, the security settings, and also modify your router’s connection. You will be able to see some tabs like status, wireless settings, firewall, and system settings. There are many options which the user can change like the transmission rate, IP address, and even the bandwidth.

Tips to Change your Username and Password:

• Your password should have a mixture of alphanumeric characters and special characters.
• Your password should be 8-16 characters long, complex yet easy to remember.
• Username should be simple and user-friendly.
• The username and password for the Huawei router need to be written down somewhere as a precaution.

Step 4: Change the SSID of the Edimax BR6228nS Router

The Service Set Identifier (SSID) is essentially the name that will appear on your network when you open the Wi-Fi tab. By default, it is always the name of the router’s manufacturer. If you don’t change the SSID, it can be very easy for anyone to predict the login details if they aren’t changed. Thus, it is highly recommended that you change the SSID of your new router to something personal.

Steps to Change the SSID or Network Name:

• Make the SSID short and simple.
• Don’t make it very fancy as it may backfire.
• Don’t use any personal information to set the name of your router.

Step 5: Secure the Edimax BR622nS Router Settings

When you log into the router, you can see a wireless settings tab or a tab for changing the security settings of the router. In the encryption settings, you need to select the option WPA2-PSK which is the best encryption standard in the industry right now. This setting will ensure that the router is secure at an optimal level.
