Why You Should Change Your Rockspace AX1800 WiFi Password

Changing the default WiFi password on your Rockspace AX1800 is essential for keeping your home network secure. Default passwords are easy to guess, and anyone who gains access to your WiFi can use your internet, see devices on your network, or attack weak devices. Updating to a strong, unique password also helps you control who connects and prevents neighbors, guests, or old devices from staying connected forever.

The Rockspace AX1800 makes this process fairly simple. You can change your WiFi password either through the browser-based admin page or via the ROCK WIFI mobile app. This guide covers both methods step by step.

Before You Start: Things You’ll Need

Before changing the WiFi password on your Rockspace AX1800, make sure you have:

• A Rockspace AX1800 WiFi 6 router powered on and working
• A phone, tablet, or computer connected to the router’s WiFi or via Ethernet
• Your router login details (default username and password are often “admin” / “admin” unless changed)
• The router’s IP address (usually 192.168.1.1; sometimes printed on the label)
• A new WiFi password ready (at least 8–12 characters, mix of letters, numbers, and symbols)

Important:
Once you change your WiFi password, all connected devices will disconnect and must be reconnected using the new password. Plan 5–10 minutes of downtime.

Method 1: Change Rockspace AX1800 WiFi Password via Web Browser

This method works from any device with a browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari, etc.) connected to your Rockspace AX1800 network.

Step 1: Connect to the Rockspace AX1800

1. Make sure your phone or computer is connected to the Rockspace AX1800 WiFi network or plugged in via Ethernet.
2. If you just set up the router, connect to the default WiFi name (SSID) printed on the router label.

Step 2: Open the Router Login Page

1. Open a web browser on your device.
2. In the address bar, type:
   • 192.168.1.1
   • If that doesn’t work, check the sticker on the router for the correct IP.
3. Press Enter to load the router’s login page.

Step 3: Log In to the Rockspace AX1800 Admin Panel

1. On the login screen, enter the admin username and password.
2. Default values are often:
   • Username: admin
   • Password: admin
3. If you or your ISP changed these earlier, use the updated details.
4. Click “Login” or “Sign In” to access the dashboard.

If you can’t log in, you may need to reset the router to factory defaults and set it up again.

Step 4: Go to Wireless/WiFi Settings

1. From the main dashboard, look for a section labeled “Wireless”, “WiFi”, or “Wireless Settings”.
2. Click it to open the wireless configuration page.
3. On some Rockspace firmware, WiFi options might be under “Basic”, “Network”, or “WiFi Settings”.

Step 5: Select the Band (2.4 GHz / 5 GHz)

Your Rockspace AX1800 broadcasts two networks:

• 2.4 GHz – better range, slightly slower
• 5 GHz – faster speeds, shorter range

On the wireless settings page, you may see separate sections for 2.4G and 5G. You can:

• Change the password for both bands to the same value (easiest to remember), or
• Use different passwords per band (more control but more to remember)

Select the band you want to edit first.

Step 6: Change the WiFi Network Name (Optional)

While you’re here, you can also change the WiFi name (SSID):

1. Find the field labeled “SSID” or “Network Name”.
2. Enter a new, recognizable name (for example, “Home_AX1800_5G”).
3. Avoid using personal information like your full name or exact address.

This step is optional, but helpful if you’re switching from the default name.

Step 7: Enter a New WiFi Password

1. Look for the field labeled “Password”, “WiFi Password”, “Pre-Shared Key”, or “WPA-PSK Key”.
2. Delete the old password and type your new WiFi password.
3. Use a strong, unique password:
   • At least 8–12 characters
   • Mix uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols
   • Avoid simple words, names, birthdays, or “12345678”

Example of a strong password:
RockHome#2025!AX

4. If there is a “Show Password” checkbox, tick it to confirm you typed it correctly.
5. Repeat the same for the other band (5 GHz or 2.4 GHz) if needed.

Step 8: Save the New Settings

1. Scroll down and click “Save”, “Apply”, or “OK” to confirm the changes.
2. The router may take 10–30 seconds to apply the new settings.
3. Your device will likely disconnect from WiFi because the password has changed.

Step 9: Reconnect Devices with the New WiFi Password

1. On your phone or computer, go to WiFi settings.
2. Select your Rockspace AX1800 WiFi network name (SSID).
3. Tap “Forget” or “Remove” the old network if it still exists.
4. Tap the network again and enter your new WiFi password.
5. Repeat this process for all devices: phones, laptops, TVs, consoles, smart home devices, etc.

Your Rockspace AX1800 WiFi password is now successfully updated.

Method 2: Change Rockspace AX1800 WiFi Password Using the ROCK WIFI App

If you prefer using your phone, the ROCK WIFI app gives you another way to change your WiFi password.

Step 1: Install the ROCK WIFI App

1. Open Google Play Store (Android) or App Store (iOS).
2. Search for “ROCK WIFI” (official Rockspace app).
3. Download and install the app.
4. Open the app after installation.

Step 2: Log In or Create a Rockspace Account

1. If you already use Rockspace services, log in with your existing account.
2. If not, tap “Sign Up” and create an account with your email or phone number.
3. Verify your identity with any code sent to you.
4. Make sure the phone is connected to the Rockspace AX1800 WiFi.

Step 3: Add or Select Your Rockspace AX1800 Router

1. On the app home screen, locate your AX1800 router.
2. If it doesn’t appear automatically, tap “+” or “Add Device” and follow the prompts to add it.
3. Once added, tap the router to open its settings.

Step 4: Open WiFi Settings in the App

1. Inside the router page, look for “More Settings” or “WiFi Setting”.
2. Tap “WiFi Setting” to view current SSID and password options.
3. You’ll see separate fields for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, just like in the browser method.

Step 5: Change the WiFi Password

1. Tap the password field for the band you want to change.
2. Clear the existing value and enter your new WiFi password.
3. Use a strong password, similar to the guidelines mentioned earlier.
4. Make the passwords identical for both bands if you want a simpler setup.
5. Tap “Save” or “Apply”.

1. Go to WiFi settings on each device.
2. Forget the old Rockspace network.
3. Select it again and enter your new WiFi password.

How to Choose a Strong and Memorable WiFi Password

A weak WiFi password is easy to crack, especially on modern hardware. Follow these tips when creating one for your Rockspace AX1800:

• Use at least 12 characters if possible
• Combine uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special symbols
• Avoid:
  • Names, birthdays, or pet names
  • Simple sequences like 12345678 or abcdefg
  • Reusing passwords from other online accounts
• Use a passphrase that’s easy for you but hard to guess, like:
  • BlueSky!Room#92
  • Coffee@Home2025!

You can also store your WiFi password in a password manager so you don’t have to memorize it.

What to Do If You Forget Your Rockspace AX1800 Login or WiFi Password

Sometimes both the WiFi password and admin password get lost. In that case, you may need a factory reset.

Option 1: If You Forgot Only the WiFi Password

1. Connect a computer to the router using an Ethernet cable.
2. Log in to the router’s admin page using the admin username and password.
3. Follow the web method above to view and change the WiFi password.

Option 2: If You Forgot the Admin Password

1. Look for the Reset button on the back or bottom of the Rockspace AX1800.
2. Use a paperclip or pin to press and hold the reset button for about 10 seconds.
3. Release the button when the LEDs start blinking.
4. Wait 1–2 minutes for the router to reboot.
5. The router is now back to factory default settings:
   • Default WiFi name and password (printed on the label)
   • Default admin login (usually admin/admin)
6. Set up the router again and then change the WiFi password using the steps in this guide.

Quick Checklist After Changing Your Rockspace AX1800 WiFi Password

Once you’re done, run through this quick checklist:

•  Can at least one phone or laptop connect to WiFi using the new password?

•  Have you updated the password on smart home devices (cameras, plugs, bulbs, speakers)?
•  Did you write down or save the new WiFi password somewhere safe?
•  Have you considered changing the admin login password too, for extra security?

If all answers are “yes,” your Rockspace AX1800 WiFi password change is complete and your home network is more secure.

The post How to Change WiFi Password on Rockspace AX1800 Router: Step-by-Step Guide appeared first on Re.Rockspace.local.

When you unbox a Rockspace AX1800 WiFi 6 router, the first thing you notice is there’s no printed setup guide in the box—just a QR code. That QR code either works perfectly or sends you to an app that takes 10 minutes to load. Most people then Google “Rockspace AX1800 setup” and find five conflicting YouTube videos.​​

Here’s the honest truth: the Rockspace AX1800 setup is straightforward if you know the order of steps and what to do when things get stuck. This guide walks you through it—both the app method (fastest) and the web browser method (more control)—plus real troubleshooting for the 3 most common failure points.​​

What You Need to Know About Rockspace AX1800 Before Starting

The Rockspace AX1800 is a dual-band WiFi 6 router supporting up to 600 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 1,200 Mbps on 5 GHz (hence “AX1800”). It has:​

• 4 Gigabit LAN ports (for wired devices).
• 1 Gigabit WAN port (where your modem connects).​
• WiFi 6 features: WPA3 encryption, OFDMA, MU-MIMO for multiple devices, and BSS Color to reduce interference from neighboring networks.​
• Default WiFi name (SSID) & password printed on the sticker on the bottom or back of the router.​
• Default admin login: Username: admin, Password: admin (used only for the setup page, not WiFi).​

Most people mix these up—the WiFi password (for connecting devices) is different from the admin password (for accessing the router’s settings page). Keep that straight, and half your confusion goes away.​

Method 1: Rockspace AX1800 Setup Using the ROCK App (Fastest Way)

This is the official method Rockspace recommends, and honestly, it’s the smoothest if you have a smartphone.​​

Step 1: Physically Connect the Router

1. Unbox the Rockspace AX1800 and find:
   • Power adapter.​
   • Ethernet cable.​
   • Sticker on the bottom with default SSID and password.​
2. Place the router in a central location—ideally on a shelf or table, not in a closet or on the floor.​
3. Connect your modem to the router’s WAN (Internet) port using Ethernet.​​
   • Look for the port labeled “WAN” or “Internet” (usually it’s a different color from the other 4 LAN ports).
   • Don’t plug into a LAN port by mistake—this is the #1 reason people say “no internet after setup”.​
4. Plug in the power adapter.​
5. Wait 1–2 minutes until you see the WiFi LED solid or blinking steadily (meaning the router has booted).​

Step 2: Install the ROCK App

1. On your phone, go to Google Play Store (Android) or Apple App Store (iPhone).​​
2. Search for “ROCK WiFi” or “RS Home” (these are Rockspace’s official apps).​
3. Download and install it.​​
4. Open the app.​

Step 3: Connect Your Phone to the Default WiFi

1. Go to your phone’s WiFi settings.​​
2. Find the network name (SSID) from the router’s bottom sticker—it’ll look like “rockspace-2.4G” or “rockspace-AX1800” or similar.​
3. Connect to it using the password also on the sticker (it’s a random combination, usually uppercase and lowercase).​​
4. You’ll see “No Internet” under the WiFi name—that’s normal. You’re connected to the router locally, not to the internet yet.​​

Step 4: Run the ROCK App Setup Wizard

1. Open the ROCK app on your phone.​​
2. Tap “+” or “Add Device” to start a new setup.​
3. The app should auto-detect your Rockspace AX1800—tap on it when it appears.​
4. If asked for a password, enter “admin” (this is the admin password, not the WiFi password).​
5. Choose your time zone and click Next.​
6. Select your ISP connection type:
   • Most homes: DHCP (automatic, pulls an IP address from your modem/ISP).
   • Some homes/offices: PPPoE (your ISP gave you a username and password).
   • A few: Static IP (rare; skip unless your ISP specifically told you this).​​
7. If PPPoE, enter your ISP username and password when prompted.​
8. The app will test the connection. If it connects, you’ll see green checkmarks.​​
9. Set your new WiFi details:
   • WiFi name (SSID): Enter whatever you want (e.g., “MyHome5G”).​​
   • WiFi password: Use something 8+ characters, mix of letters/numbers (not just “password123”).​
   • 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz options: You can name them the same (devices auto-switch) or different names (you pick which to use).​
10. Confirm admin password (for accessing this setup page later)—change it from “admin” to something you’ll remember.​
11. Tap Finish. The router reboots and saves all settings. Wait 30–60 seconds.​​
12. Disconnect from the old default WiFi on your phone, then connect to your new WiFi name with your new password.​
13. Test: Open a web browser on your phone, go to any website (Google.com, etc.). If it loads, you’re done—internet is working.​​

Time to complete: 5–10 minutes.​​

Method 2: Rockspace AX1800 Setup Via Web Browser (Manual Control)

If the app doesn’t work or you prefer the browser method, this is your alternative.​​

Step 1–3: Same Physical & WiFi Connection as Above

Follow Steps 1–3 from Method 1 (connect modem, power on, wait, connect phone to default WiFi).​​

Step 4: Access the Web Interface

1. Open any web browser on your phone or computer (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox).​
2. In the address bar, type:
   192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 (check your router’s label to confirm which IP).​
3. Press Enter. You should see a login page with a password field.​
4. Enter the default admin password: “admin” (lowercase).​
5. Click “Login” or “Sign In”.​

Step 5: Follow the Setup Wizard

1. Select your time zone from the dropdown.​
2. Choose WAN connection type:
   • DHCP (standard for most home/office Internet).
   • PPPoE (if your ISP gave you a PPPoE username/password).​​
3. If PPPoE, enter credentials. If DHCP, the wizard auto-configures.​
4. Test connection—it should show “Connected” or “Online”.​
5. Customize WiFi settings:
   • 2.4 GHz SSID: Your WiFi name for 2.4 GHz band.​
   • 2.4 GHz Password: 8+ characters.​
   • 5 GHz SSID: Optional separate name or same as 2.4 GHz.​
   • 5 GHz Password: Same or different from 2.4 GHz.​
6. Set new admin password (for logging into this page in future).​
7. Click “Apply” or “Finish”—router reboots.​
8. Wait 1–2 minutes for the reboot to complete.​​
9. Disconnect from old WiFi, connect to new WiFi name + password.​
10. Test: Open a website to confirm internet is working.​

Time to complete: 8–15 minutes (slower than the app due to manual typing).​

Common Rockspace AX1800 Setup Issues & Real Fixes

Issue 1: “No Internet Connection” Even After Setup (Most Common)

Why it happens:
You plugged the modem into a LAN port instead of the WAN port, or the WAN connection type is wrong (DHCP vs PPPoE).​​

Fix (in order):

1. Power off the router (unplug for 10 seconds).​​
2. Check the cable: Verify the modem is connected to the WAN port, not a LAN port.​
   • WAN is usually a different color (yellow/orange) or labeled “Internet.”
   • LAN ports are the regular 4.​
3. Power on the router and wait 2 minutes.​​
4. Log back into the setup page (192.168.1.1) → check the WAN connection type:
   • If your ISP gave you a username/password, it should be PPPoE, not DHCP.​
   • If you’re unsure, contact your ISP and ask: “Am I using DHCP or PPPoE?”.​
5. If PPPoE, re-enter credentials carefully (case-sensitive, watch for spaces).​​
6. Save and reboot the router (usually an “Apply” button).​
7. Test again by opening a website on your phone.​​

Issue 2: ROCK App Won’t Connect to Router or Says “Offline”

Why it happens:
Your phone is connected to a different WiFi (not the router’s default), or the app version is outdated.​​

Fix:

1. Check phone WiFi: Make sure you’re on the default Rockspace WiFi (from the bottom sticker), not a different network.​​
2. Restart the ROCK app: Close it completely and reopen it.​
3. Update the app: Go to Google Play or App Store, search “ROCK WiFi,” and install any pending updates.​
4. Restart your phone’s WiFi: Go to Settings → WiFi → Toggle off/on.​​
5. Restart the router: Unplug for 10 seconds, plug back in.​​
6. Try again: Open ROCK app and add the device.​

Issue 3: Can’t Access the Login Page (192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 Won’t Load)

Why it happens:
You’re not connected to the router’s WiFi, or you typed the wrong IP.

Fix:

1. Relocate the router:
   • Move it to a central, elevated location (shelf, not floor).​
   • Avoid thick walls, metal cabinets, microwaves, and cordless phones nearby.​
2. Move away from interference:
   • 2.4 GHz band is affected by microwave ovens, Bluetooth speakers, baby monitors.​
   • 5 GHz band travels shorter but is usually clearer.​
3. Check connected devices:
   • If too many devices are streaming (10+ at once), WiFi gets congested.​
   • Disconnect unnecessary devices.​
4. Restart the router if speeds suddenly drop.​

Issue 5: Forgot Admin Password

Why it happens:
You changed the default “admin” password during setup and now can’t log back in.​

Fix (Factory Reset):

1. Unplug the router for 10 seconds.​
2. Locate the reset button on the back (small, recessed).​
3. While keeping the router unplugged, use a paperclip or pin to press and hold the reset button.​
4. Plug the router back in while holding the reset button for 10–15 seconds until the LED flashes rapidly.​
5. Release the button and wait 2–3 minutes for the router to reboot.​
