droid cell phone will not connect to wifi
I have had the Netgear adapter & cell phone for over 2 yrs with no problems with the WiFi connection between the two devices untill last month. My cell phone connects to the Netgear & immediately disconnects & keeps trying to get the connection. I can connect my cell phone WiFi with other unsecured WiFi servers so it is not the phone. My Netgear adapter works just fine keeping my computer connected to the internet.
I have re-installed, run updates & diagnostics but nothing I do assists in holding the WiFi connection between the two devices.
My computer runs Windows 7 as it is not able to be upgraded to Windows 10.
Any suggestions?

You could temporarily disable the WiFi security and try it. If successful, recheck the password key.

I have not security on my Netgear adapter. I previously had viewed what I thought was all possible security measures on my phone. I took another look at my phone & under other than security found it was blocking Netgear. So block off, WiFi on phone is connecting & staying connected. Thanks for your help. Pointing me again at possible security issues made me look again & find my problem.
You are welcome.
