Bulk Change SSID Password

[Mcameron]

Is there a way to change the SSID passwords in a bulk process?

I have over 40 - 50 devices where i want to have a universal password instead of the unique password per unit set up.

So rather avoid having to remote onto each unit remotely to get this done

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out.

Yes, if all your devices are added and connected to RMS, you can change the WiFi SSID passwords to a universal one for all devices via the RMS Task Manager. Here’s how to do it:

1. In RMS, navigate to Task Manager under the Management section.
2. Press Add, specify a name for the task group.
3. Paste the following commands into the Command window:

uci set wireless.default_radio0.key='your_desired_password'
uci commit wireless
/etc/init.d/network restart

This will change the 2.4 GHz WiFi password. To change the 5 GHz WiFi password as well, add the following line after the first one:

uci set wireless.default_radio1.key='your_desired_password'

4. Increase the timeout and press Save.
5. In the Devices section, select all the devices you want to apply the new password to.
6. Above the table, press Management → Execute task, and click the Play button to run the task group.

If your devices are not connected to RMS, you will need to configure each device manually.

Hope this helps! If you need further assistance, feel free to reach out.

Best Regards,
