  • The WNR2000 is an ancient device and may have compatibility issues with newer tech & standards.
  • If this 15-year old device is second hand, then it may need a reset to wipe out any settings inherited from previous owners.

     

    As for the rest of your message, I don't understand what you are trying to say.

     

    What has this got to do with a Samsung tablet?

      Router Is WNR2000v5, PURCHASED 2021. Never Changed PASSWORD. PURCHASED NEW Samsung Tablet And Tried To Connect WiFi And Get ERROR: PASSWORD INVALID. ALSO, Cell Phone Disconnected From WIFI, Tried Reconnect And Same Error RESPONSE. Weird Thing Is  My OldEr Samsung Tablet Still Connected To WIFI., Using NOW.

      It Is CONNECTED To Spectrums MODEM, Which Has Been REBOOTED.

      Why Is Router NOT RECOGNIZING The PASSWORD.

        Seven years after Netgear launched it.

         


        Never Changed PASSWORD.

         


        Which password? WiFi? Router browser graphical user interface (GUI)?

        What is that modem? Make and model?
