My WNR2000v3 router no longer requires a password. How do I fix that?
I set up the router on my Dell PC and my iPad and iPhone. I did set up a password. After quite some time, I noticed that it was no longer secure. I can find all kinds of info on how to CHANGE a pas...
Yeehaw! It let me go through those steps after I gave it the serial number again. I didn't have to tell my igadgets to forget; they went to the "new" network all by themselves. Thank you so much! I can't tell you how much better I feel.
Welcome to the community, Quixota
If you have selected any of the Security Options then you have a wireless password enabled.
Which security option have you selected?
Your devices should be asked for wireless security whenever you changed it.
I suggest that you change the wireless security and have the devices forget the connection and then reconnect it to the wireless network.
How do I change my NETGEAR router WiFi password or network name (SSID)?
I can't log in to that site. I tried multiple times (before asking for help) using my email address, usual username, admin; password and the password I believe I gave it originally. Nothing worked. I did manage to change my Netgear pasword at mynetgear, but that won't log in to this site either. Now I am getting an error message: 401 Unauthorized, saying "access to this resource is denied, your client has not supplied the correct authentication." it offers to help me recover the router's admin password by typing in the serial number. I'm paranoid: is this offer legit or not? Thanks again for your help.
