If you cannot connect wirelessly, check the following:

area? Some wireless devices automatically connect to the first open network without
wireless security that they discover.
• Is your computer or wireless device trying to connect to your network with its old
settings (before you changed the settings)? If so, update the wireless network
selection in your computer or wireless device to match the current settings for your
network.
