Re: WNR2000v2 - WiFi Password

I have had router about 6 years with no problems. I set it up with WEP security and it is connected to my desk top and cable modem. I have Kaspersky Internet Security and when I start up my lap top it cautions me to change my security settings to WPA2. I changed the settings to WPA2PSK through my net gear account. Now my lap top, 2 iphones and 2 kindles cannot connect to the router. All of them ask me to login with password and then doesn't accept the password. I have not changed the password. What have I done incorrectly? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

You cannot go from WEP to WPA2 with changing PW.....use a wired PC login to router verify WPA2 security settings.

I have verified the WPA2-PSK setting on my desk top through "Net Gear Smart Wizerd Router Manager." Are you saying that once that is changed that the password is no longer valid and I should change it?

Re: WNR2000v2 - WiFi Password
I went ahead and changed the password under my log in account under Maintenance, Set Password. The old password came with the router and was 26 digits. I assigned the new password (18 digits) entered twice as instructed and clicked apply. When I tried to set up the wifi with an iphone I got an enter password I entered the new password and it came back as incorrect. I admit I am not a "techie." Did I change the password correctly or are there other steps that I should take.

Re: WNR2000v2 - WiFi Password
You appear to be setting wrong password, Wifi password or PassPhrase is changed in the WIFI setup... suggest you read the manual we all did at one time or another.
