Access my router from my phone
Hi! Trying to setup my new Frameo wi-fi digital photo frame but the wi-fi shows status of 'scanning'. From all my research and head-scratching, I believe it is due to router security setting of WEP...
I successfully changed WEP to WPA2 and also upgraded the router firmware (I'm sure it was very outdated). I had to remove the router from my frameo wi-fi setup and add it back. All is fine now; Frameo is working and we have uploaded photos. Lastly, I am going to investigate if I should change the router mode from 54mbps to 150mbps or 300mbps. Thanks everyone!

Not in every sentence, no.

Many thanks for the evident self-restraint.
Bottom line: The 'accept as solution' for the '401 unauthorized, access to this resource is denied' message was to use the correct password for my router. And the solution to have the Frameo digital photo frame to 'connect' to the router vs having a status of 'scanning' was to change the router security from WEP to WPA2 then upgrade the router firmware. Issue closed. Thanks Netgear Community.
