If you cannot connect over WiFi, check the following:
• If your computer or mobile device is already connected to another WiFi network in your area,
disconnect it from that WiFi network and connect it to the WiFi network that the router provides.
Some WiFi devices automatically connect to the first open network without WiFi security that they
discover.
• If your computer or mobile device is trying to connect to your network with its old settings (before
you changed the settings), update the WiFi network selection in your computer or mobile device to
match the current settings for your network.
• Does your computer or mobile device display as an attached device?
on the Network on page 147.) If it does, it is connected to the network.
• Are you using the correct network name (SSID) and password?

• WPA [TKIP] +WPA2 [AES]. This type of security enables WiFi devices
that support either WPA or WPA2 to join the router's WiFi network. This
is the default mode.

devices do not detect WPA2 and support only WPA. If your network
includes such older devices, select WPA [TKIP] + WPA2 [AES] security.
