Hello and thank-you for the help,
The browser is Microsoft Edge.
Currently the I cannot change the password from the default and I used to be able too.
The router seems to reset itself back to the factory settings every couple weeks.
After the last rest, the ability to change the password seems to be lost.
Other settings are maintained until the reset happens. Really the only settings I change are the dynamic wifi, forwarded ports, router name, and passwords.
The phone app takes way too long to access the settings and It also does take seconds when I use Edge.
