How do I change the default username on WNDR3700v5
Hello, I found how to change the administration password on my router, but I would also like to change admin by something else.
I have been looking for a while and was unable to find anywhere how to replace 'admin' by something else.
I would love any answer, including it is impossible, so I will stop to search :smileywink:
Kind Regard, CharlesNovel
Hello again, I just found that it is not possible... so I would strongly recommend that a line saying it would be added in the manual... that will save time to people like me! (and I do not seems to be the only one :smileyfrustrated:

You can only change the pw, not the userid. That way with all NG routers..
thank you very much, CharlesNovel
