disconnected from the network.

Make sure that you can connect with WiFi to the network with its new settings.
If you cannot connect, check the following:
•
Is your computer or wireless device connected to another WiFi network in your area?
Some wireless devices automatically connect to the first open network without
wireless security that they discover.
•
Is your computer or wireless device trying to connect to your network with its old
settings (before you changed the settings)? If so, update the wireless network
selection in your computer or wireless device to match the current settings for your
network.
Change the WiFi Security Option
Your gateway comes with preset WPA2 or WPA security. The password that you enter to
connect to your network is unique to your gateway and is on the gateway label. You don’t
need to change these settings, but you can. Best practice is to avoid disabling security.
To change the WPA settings:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.
2.
Type
http://routerlogin.net
or
http://10.0.0.2
.
A login screen displays.
3.
Enter the gateway user name and password.
The user name is
admin
. The default password is
admin
. The user name and password
are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home screen displays.

Select

.

Under Security Options, select a WPA option:
•
WPA2-PSK [AES]
•
WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]
The WPA2 options use the newest standard for the strongest security but some older
computers and wireless devices cannot use WPA2. By default, the
WPA-PSK [TKIP] +
WPA2-PSK [AES]
radio button is selected so that new or old computers and wireless
devices can connect to the WiFi network by using either WPA2 or WPA security.
The
Passphrase
field displays.

In the
Passphrase
field, enter the network key (password) that you want to use.
