Configure and recover administrator password

The Administrator password is the password that you need to enter to have access to the web UI of the Razer Sila router and manage its settings. It is important to set up an administrator password to the router so that your network’s configuration and all devices connected to it are protected against unauthorized access.

The Razer Sila’s default administrator password is “password” and can be seen at the bottom sticker of the device itself. You can change or delete the administrator password on the router by accessing its web UI.

Note: For lost passwords, the only way to recover is to reset the Razer Sila to its factory default settings.

This article will guide you on how to set up or change an administrator password on the Razer Sila. Follow the steps below to learn how:

  1. Access the web UI of the Razer Sila and go to “Admin Password”.

You have now set up a new password on the Razer Sila. The next time you access the web UI, it will be requiring you to enter this new password.

Configure wireless security settings

The wireless security settings on your Razer Sila should be properly configured to make sure that no unauthorized wireless devices will be able to connect to your network and take advantage of the wireless internet connection. Since the Razer Sila is a dual-band router, wireless security should be implemented for both bands, the 2.4 GHz and the 5 GHz.

Follow the detailed instructions below to configure the wireless security settings on the Razer Sila.

Important: Use a computer that is hardwired to the Razer Sila. This will allow an uninterrupted connection to the router and continuous access to its web UI during and after the configuration.

  1. Access the web UI of the Razer Sila.

  2. Click on “Wireless Configuration”.
