I would change the login for your router as well after you access it, like God of Thunder suggested. Some routers have programs that will do all of the above, without using a browser and the IP address to do so.

The one I bought was a Netgear router. I don't recall it asking me anything regarding the IP address in order to change the SSID/password/encryption, so it must have detected that information on its own. It was all pretty painless. Even for a novice like myself.
