If you connected wirelessly to the network and you changed the SSID, you are
disconnected from the network.
12. 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 mobile device connected to another WiFi network in your
area? Some mobile devices automatically connect to the first open network without
WiFi security that they discover.
• Is your computer or mobile 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 mobile device to match the current settings for your network.
Change the WiFi Password or Security Level
The WiFi password is different from the admin password that you use to log in to the
router.
Your router comes with preset WPA2 or WPA security. We recommend that you use the
preset security, but you can change the settings. We recommend that you do not disable
the preset security.
For information about other WiFi security options, see Configure WPA/WPA2 Enterprise
WiFi Security on page 106 and Configure WEP Legacy WiFi Security on page 108.
To change the WPA settings:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The Dashboard displays.
4. Select Settings > Setup > Wireless Setup.
The Wireless Settings page displays.
5. Under Security Options, select a WPA option.
The WPA2 options use the newest standard for the strongest security. WPA2-PSK
[AES] is the default setting.
