Network Security Key
I am trying to change my network key and it doesn't allow me or the previously set password is still there, i have tried to reset my router and still it takes the default password and doesn't allow m...
No Luck.. i think i have to bear with it or might have to replace the router.. However, i didn't try downgrading, since flashing itself didn't help.. i dont think downgrading will help.. may be some ROM in the router isn't flashing the memory or resetting the password.. Anyway this router has been working without any issues for more than 4years.. i guess its time to change..:(
Hello jschristie
Welcome to the community!
Just to be clear, the network security key that you're trying to change is the Wireless Password, correct?
You may have to push the reset button firmly with a use of a paperclip and hold it down for 10 seconds.
Once you have done that, you will need to reconfigure the router to get back the connection and manually configure the settings you desire.
