Make sure that you can connect wirelessly to the network with its new settings.
If you cannot connect wirelessly, check the following:
•
Is your computer or WiFi device connected to another wireless network in your area?
Some wireless devices automatically connect to the first open network without wireless
security that they discover.
•
Is your computer or WiFi device trying to connect to your network with its old settings
(before you changed the settings)? If so, update the WiFi network selection in your
computer or WiFi device to match the current settings for your network.
