Changing the configurations here is quite easy; you just have to refer to your handbook. Remembering the points given below too will help you a lot.

1.      Change the router password

The password TM offers you is not personalized, it is a default one. A search on Google for the same will be enough for anyone to locate it. Read your handbook and do as per the guidelines to change your router password. The same applies even to your user ID. Do not forget to save the settings and add the new network. This is a must because when you change your default user name and password, the network won’t let your computer connect to the Internet.

2.      Check for your second secure account

If you have not noticed yet, your router from TM has a second account. This is designed so that the technician can assist you if you happen to forget your admin password. Make good use of it. Remember, when you make the required changes, you bid farewell to almost all form of external access. Keep your password saved in a safe place.

3.      Don’t settle for the usual way

When TM sends your account-related information as an email, it just gives your password unencrypted. This may not pose much trouble. But, try to avoid, just to stay safe. Changing your password at regular intervals will help you eliminate this risk.

4.      Disable remote management

Explore the Internet. You will find ways to disable all types of remote management on your computer. Entrusting the task with a tech-savvy friend is highly recommended. This will help you avoid unwanted surprises.

5.      Beware of the verify TM account scam

If you have made the changes mentioned above, you stay relatively safe from hackers. But, there is one danger; fishing emails. People have reported receiving emails from scammers asking them to verify their account. The message may ask you to give out your user ID, password and other related information on a particular website. Do not respond to them. The appropriate course of action is to contact TM and verify the source. If you feel that you have given out the information requested without verification, change the user name and password as early as possible.
