If you don't know what it is, then I'd guess that you're not using
it, but visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and
look for Documentation. Get the User Manual (at least). Read.
While you're in that neighborhood, you might verify available
firmware.

WOW, several of my devices are all of the sudden just like my iphone. My wifes school laptop and my iPhone aren't able to connect even though they have been for years. Now even after putting in the correct password (verified correct) it will not connect.
UGH!

devices using? Have you looked at the stuff in the User Manual under
"Specify basic WiFi settings"? Does the router think that its
wireless-network credentials are what you think that its
wireless-network credentials are? For both radio bands? - todd1010Feb 19, 2021Apprentice
Alright, I dug into Access Control I had it turned off but did turn it on and deleted a bunch of old devices I no longer have. There were two devices one wired connection type and one wireless.
Two devices showed back up, one was a wired device I edited it to allow access since its wired.
The other device I deleted it again and manually added my phone via its MAC address and name and clicked allow, applied the settings tried to connect again with the correct SSID and password and my phone still won't connect.

Which radio band are these devices using?
2) For this, I've just been trying to connect to the 2.4Ghz band
Have you looked at the stuff in the User Manual under
"Specify basic WiFi settings"?3) I have not but will right now!
Does the router think that its
wireless-network credentials are what you think that its
wireless-network credentials are? For both radio bands?4) I have both wireless band named the same except for the 5ghz band has "-5G" after the name. If this is what you mean.
