Password

For no reason at all, my wifi network wants me to join and won't accept my password? Any suggestions?
  • I reset my router to factory settings and installed the firmware update.  Seems to be working fine now.

        Thank you so much for attaching the manual, and for your input. I got it to stop asking for a password after turning off "ask to join networks " in phone/tablet settings and doing a soft reset on devices and router.

      First I turned off "ask to join networks" in Settings on my iPhone, then I restarted my iPhone, restarted my router...and it went back to me being automatically assigned to my secure network (it stopped asking for the password)
