GoPro Hero 3+: Changing your WiFi password

First of all, updating your wifi name and password on the GoPro is not as easy as it should be. But here are a few simple steps you can take, using the GoPro App to change your WiFi settings:

There are a few slight differences between iOS and Android so make sure you check your phone's operating system first if you're not sure what it's running.

Test question 1: Does your phone look like this?

Test question 2: Do you have a Nokia?
