Local Wi-fi

I received a warning on my android phone from McAfee that said "wi-fi under attack" do you want to dis-connect. I clicked yes and was dis-connected. Now I can't re-connect. Is this a virus on my phone or is the wi-fi messed up?

      Should I add a whole new network and put in the ssid and new password ( I changed the password)? My phone does not give an option to edit a network that is already on the phone.

      I just tried this by adding a new account and adding my old info. The phone deleted my old netgear info and let me connect on wi-fi. Thank You!
