See & Edit Wi-Fi Info

To connect your wireless devices to your secure, in-home network, you need your Wi-Fi network name (also known as an SSID) and your passcode or network key. You can view and change this information by logging directly into your modem or use the Midco Wi-Fi app (available with Midco Freestyle® Wi-Fi). Read the tips below and then find your modem model for details. If you’d like to view your network information, it is also available for some modems in Midco My Account.

Need to Know: Network Changes

If you’d like, you can change your network name and network key to make them unique to you.

  • The default network name (SSID) and password (network key) for your modem typically appears on the back of your modem.
  • During installation, a Midco technician will change your default network name and password, if you’d like a custom one.
  • You can also view and change your network information by logging into your modem if you self-install or at any time. You can also view and edit this information in the Midco Wi-Fi app (available with Midco Freestyle Wi-Fi).

Why change my network details?

  • Setting up a personalized network name makes it easier to find and connect to your Wi-Fi.
  • You may want to change your password to something you can more easily remember for you and your visitors.
  • Want to keep short-term visitors off your network? Change your password after house guests (or your kids’ friends) leave, to keep things secure.

Depending on your wireless modem, you may be able to access your wireless network name and key within My Account.

  1. Log in to My Account.
  2. Under the Internet section, select Manage.
  3. Locate your modem. If your network name and network key are available in My Account, your details will display.

If your details are not available, get help to access your wireless information through your modem. Changing your Wi-Fi network name and password is not available in My Account. You must log in to your modem to make these updates. See the modem steps below for help.

To see or edit your Wi-Fi network password in the Midco Wi-Fi app:

  1. In the app, select My Wi-Fi from the app menu. 
  2. Tap on your Wi-Fi network
  3. Edit the network name and network password for the network (if needed).

Note: Subscription to Midco Freestyle® Wi-Fi required for access to the Midco Wi-Fi app.

If your wireless password and network name are not listed in My Account, you may be able to access them through your modem. If you want to change your Wi-Fi password, you can only do so by logging in directly to your modem (using these directions) or by contacting us.

Required to Start: Read these important notes about changing your wireless information:

  • If you change your wireless network name or password, you will need to interact with and reconnect each device previously connected to your Wi-Fi, if you’d still like them to be online.
  • It can be easier to update all those devices if you change your network password and name (SSID) at the same time, so it’s easier to tell network names apart.
  • DO NOT change your wireless network name and password if you have Midco SmartHOME services, as this will cause your home security equipment to reset – and will require a Midco technician to make a service visit to your home to reset your security services.
  • You need a device that’s hard-wired or wirelessly connected to your Midco Wi-Fi modem.
