changing router password
Please bear with me... I've never been here before and never tried to change the password to my router. The only way I could get to the login window was to enter the IP address. After I enter the us...
When you sign into the router (how are you doing that? web browser? to 192.168.1.1?), you should get an opening screen with internet and wireless status. What do you see for "internet" status on the opening screen. Is the status "GOOD", or something else? Then under 'Wireless', do you see the SSID and password? Then go to your phone, 'forget' the old connection, and setup a new connection using the SSID and password seen.
Oh boy. I reset the router and changed the password. Now I’m all messed up. My phone will not connect to WiFi even though my settings say I’m connected. This has become a huge headache and I can’t connect! Please! Can anyone help me?

- Thank you, duckware, for all your help! I finally was able to change the password. When I reset the router, it had me update the system and everything was good from there. I don’t think I could have gotten here without your help. You’re my hero!
