Gaining access to the settings panel of the MTN HyNetflex is a hard task for some people, and this is due to the lack of navigational buttons and LCD display on the MTN Hynetflex Router. In this post, I will show you how to navigate your way around the HyNetflex settings panel so that you can change your HyNetflex password.
Before we begin, it is important to note that there are two types of passwords on the HyNetflex namely; The admin password, which is used to gain access to the HyNetflex settings panel, and the Wi-Fi password (technically called WPA Key), which devices can use to connect to the router. This post would walk you through how to change both passwords.
How to Change HyNetflex Admin Password.
To change the settings panel password (a.k.a Admin password), you must know the current password. Just so you know, the default password is “admin”.
I strongly advice that you change this password to prevent unauthorized access to your MTN HynetFlex Router. This is because the default admin panel password is “admin” for all HyNetflex devices sold by MTN, and anyone who knows this may change your password without your consent.
Follow the steps below to change your HyNetflex admin password;
Step 1:
Make sure that your device is connected to your MTN HyNet Router.
Step 2:
Using a web browser, visit http://192.168.0.1
Step 3:
Login with the default password: admin
Once in the dashboard,
Step 4:
Click “Modify Login Password” as shown in the screenshot below

Step 5:
Enter your current password (Default password is “admin”)
Enter your new password.
Repeat your new password.
Finally, click Apply.
Congratulations, you have successfully changed your MTN HyNetflex admin password.
How to Change WiFi Password on the MTN HyNetflex.
A WiFi password is technically known as WPA Key. Because the MTN HyNetflex is a dual-band router, it can broadcast these two bands ( 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz) simultaneously. These two bands can also have different Wi-Fi passwords or WPA Keys.
Follow the steps below to Change the WPA Key or Wi-Fi Hotspot password for your MTN HynetFlex;
Step 1:
Make sure your device is connected to your MTN HyNet Router.
Step 2:
Using a web browser, visit http://192.168.0.1
Step 3:
Login with your admin login password. (Default password: admin)
Step 4:
Once in the dashboard, Click the round Settings> button under W-Fi.
On the next page, you would see settings for both 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz Wi-Fi bands. Set new passwords for each of them by modifying the password in the WLAN KEY field as shown in the screenshot below.
Once done with the WLAN key change, click Apply. You would notice that your device disconnects upon successful WLAN Key change. Don’t fret. All devices including yours, would now need to provide the new Wi-Fi password in order to connect to the HynetFlex router.
Congratulations, you have successfully changed your MTN HyNetflex admin password.
