Wifi Password
Wouldn't let me add model number for some reason. It's DM111PSPv2.
Okay so last night, something went terribly wrong and the internet died. This morning, it was still dead. After my dad reset the router, the wi-fi worked for everyone except me. My sister and step-mother both have iPhones that were now connected to the wi-fi. My dad has an android that is connected to the wi-fi. My sister's laptop is connected. My PC is connected via a wireless adapter.
My wi-fi repeater will not connect to the wi-fi. It indefinitely says "Waiting for keys". My iPhone X and old iPhone 6 will not connect, my iPad will not connect, my laptop will not connect. They all say "Incorrect Password". My PC is connected and I can look at what password it used to connect, and it was the same password I had been trying.
Well, I'm just about to give up. I have tried sooooo many things to fix this, and I can't get anything to connect. I want to change the wi-fi password to see if that helps, but I don't know how. I visit 192.168.0.1, log in, and there is not a "Wireless Settings" tab. It does not exist. I updated the firmware from *.3_NA to *.9_NA and that didn't help. All I want to know is how to change the wi-fi password. If it doesn't work, I don't know what to do.
PS: Bringing my iPhone to either my sister's or my step-mother's for wi-fi sharing simply tells me it's the wrong password, even though they are literally connected to the wi-fi with that password.
Okay, so I was being dumb. Going to 192.168.2.1 brings me to my Belkin Router settings, where the wi-fi password that is shown there matches what I type on my phone and it simply tells me that it is the incorrect password. Same for my laptop, wi-fi repeater, laptop, and a few other phones in the house. I know, it's not a netgear issue anymore, but it still doesn't make any sense. I can see in plain-text what the wi-fi password currently is and it says it's incorrect on most devices trying to connect to it.
EDIT:
After finally managing to change the password, all devices work correctly with the new password. Odd issue.

Not a very detailed description of anything.

lacks any wireless capability? Visit http://netgear.com/support , put
in your model number, and look for Documentation. Get the Product Data
Sheet. (The User Manual does mention "wireless", but I assume that
that's because someone did too much copying from the manual for a more
capable device.)> [...] All I want to know is how to change the wi-fi password.
First find a wireless router/access point?> PS: [...]
You lost me.
