Make sure that you can reconnect over WiFi to the network with its new security settings.
If you cannot connect over WiFi, check the following:
•
If your computer or WiFi device is already connected to another WiFi network in your area, disconnect
it from that WiFi network and connect it to the WiFi network that the modem router provides. Some
WiFi devices automatically connect to the first open network without WiFi security that they discover.
•
If your computer or WiFi device is trying to connect to your network with its old settings (before you
changed the settings), update the WiFi network selection in your computer or WiFi device to match
the current settings for your network.
•
Does your WiFi device display as an attached device? (See
View Devices Currently on the Network
on page 170.) If it does, it is connected to the network.
•
Are you using the correct WiFi network name (SSID) and password?
