Configuration Error when updating WiFi credentials/settings

App Version: 2.26.0.61

Firmware Version: V1.2.0.92_1.0.1

Model Number: R6900v2

 

I am getting a Configuration Error when updating WiFi credentials/settings.

 

I've tried rebooting the router, checked for updates, and have deleted and redownloaded the mobile app.

 

At some point I was able to change the password, but have not been able to change the network name or Security Method, which I want to make WPA/WPA2-Personal.

 

Please advise.

 

  • They make USB to ethernet adapters that are cheap.

    Connect the laptop to the SSID and PW of the router, then Log into the routers web page using Safari or Firefox browser at 192.168.1.1.

  • Use a wired PC and web browser to make the changes to the wifi settings on the router.

      Thanks for responding!

       

      I don't have any wires that would connect my mac to the router.

       

      And where would I go in my browser to update the WiFi settings?
