Re: R7000 WiFi password change not possible?

When I get to Basic - Wireless setting where I can change SSID name, WEP, WPA, WPA2 etc, there is no place for changing the password. I have R7000 with latest firmware V1.0.5.70_1.1.91. Is this a known bug? I have tested both with IE and Chrome web browsers also in case of html code errors. Any other way to change the WiFi passwords?

It's supposed to be under Basic>Wireless>Security Settings

Re: R7000 WiFi password change not possible?
you have to select a security BEFORE the option to change password is available If "none" is selected then no password option is available.
If this is not the case then reset to factory defaults

Re: R7000 WiFi password change not possible?
I did choose both WPA and WPA2, but there is nothing appearing to be able to input a password. 😞
Having to reset all my configuration just to change the password seems very odd. 😞 This is one of the most basic settings of a router.

Re: R7000 WiFi password change not possible?
I've tried every setting I can think of and cannot recreate your problem. I'm guessing your router FW and or config is corrupt and would suggest a reset to factory defaults, do not use a saved config file. I would also reset the Browsers to default and clear their cache.
If same after....reload FW and use different PC to setup. If using using Genie APP Don't!

Re: R7000 WiFi password change not possible?
I hade the same problem. It´s the language setting that is the problem.
I changed from "Auto" (swedish), in the uppe right corner, to English and then I had the oppertunity to change WiFi password!

Re: R7000 WiFi password change not possible?
Thanks for the tip about English. I works 🙂 It works when I choose English, but fails again when moving back to Swedish (Svenska).
Can you repro this bug also with Svenska setting? (Wireless = Trådlöst)
