I am trying to get a phone number for support for my new router.  But all I see are PAID support....why is that when I just purchased this new Dec 31st and received it on Jan 6th 2017?  Should there ...

    Finally managed to setup and change all passwords on the router with regard to the WiFi as well.  I need to remember never to try this kind of stuff when I am tired.  First thing this morning I was able to, not only accesss the router without all the hullabalu I experienced last night, but reset after firmwear update, and changed all the passwords.

     

    I was confusing the router with the online account login info...no wonder I was unable to get anything to work last night.  Once I understood what I did wrong last night, I was able to get everything fixed up and all the necessary PWs adjusted.  So all is good now.

     

    I want to thank everyone who responded and helped me with this last night and this morning.  I appreciate all the help.
