Qcenz customers may feel the need to change their Wi-Fi network password owing to various reasons. As of now, there is no straight forward option to do the same from Qcenz mobile app, and has to be done using a workaround. Follow the step by step guide to get this done

• • Backup Device Manager Settings
    

    The ‘Device Manager’ section of app lists all Qcenz devices that are added to the Wi-Fi network. Clicking on each device will open the ‘device settings’ page.

    We recommend taking a snapshot of all the device settings pages so that the settings could be referred to when adding back the devices to the Wi-Fi network. Also note the unique device identifier ‘device ID’ for each device. We will need it when we add these devices back to the network
