Network Security key
The internet access on my windows 10 computer is asking for the network key to connect to two items. One is my Canon printer and the other one is Roku. I enter the network key but it is not accepted. I have updated the driver and gone into the system to see if I am using the correct network key and I am using the correct key; So I have tried all that I know. Can somebody offer me assistance?

Yes, it just like the example that you have shown. So I guess my printer and Roku are transmitting and just ignore it? I don't it can be coming from outside my house, for example, a commercial area as I live in the country in a wildlife management area. Certainly no distinctly next door neighbors. So I am thinking I should just ignore it.
Yes I would ignore. The printer and Roku are working normally. You would not be able to send documents to the printer from a network connection if it did not make itself known for example. All part of interconnecting of things.

Greetings,
Depending on the models, both of these devices can connect to your router (via wire or wireless) indepedantly of a computer.Both have a network set up option. You can perform connection using the Canon's control panel or via the IJ Networking tool. The Roku can be set up on screen via your TV or connected monitor.

I understand your response and both of these items are connected and functioning. I am confused as to why they are in my internet access panel seemingly wanting me to sign in but not allowing it. Should I just ignore it or are they there for a reason?
Hi,
Please help us out. What is an "Internet Access Panel"? Can you provide a screen shot of this for clarification?
