    Is this the wifi password?

    Only you know what tat means, but one thought is that you have chosen a wifi password that contains some characters that the chromebook objects to.

     

    You could try giving the wifi a new password.

     

    You could also try to setup a "guest network".

     

    If you visit the support pages:

    Support | NETGEAR

    you can feed in your model number and find the documentation for your hardware.

    Check the section Set Up a Guest Network.
