How to centrally manage a WiFi network?
Colleagues.
We have a bunch of WiFi points, with one SSID. At all points, a password is set for the common network and the password must be changed periodically.
And to put it mildly, I'm tired of changing the password for the network manually every time.
That is, I go to each point, log in, and change the password for the network.
Question: How would you make this task easier? Is there any centralized tool? Or maybe there are other options? In general, I look forward to your advice.
Added:
We have Dlink DAP-2590 access points. Good points, reliable, support several SSIDs, vlan, etc. ... in general, I don’t want to change.

It all very much depends on what equipment you are using.
For example, at such points as Ubiquiti UniFi there is special software and tools for this.
If we are talking about ordinary access points, everything is worse here, but there are options.
Most of the access points I know are running a stripped-down Linux OS.
And they allow you to connect and change settings not only through the web interface, but also through the command line.
Therefore, it will help to study the command line interface of your AP and write a script that will automatically connect and change settings.
Depends on the purpose of the network. For example, we use an Active Directory domain + Radius user authorization. Access rights are obtained by each user separately with their login and password.
