Cannot Access Your Router Message - Linksys WRT 1900AC User Manual

CANNOT ACCESS YOUR ROUTER MESSAGE

If you cannot access your router because your computer is not connected to your
network, follow these steps.
To access your router, you must be connected to your own network. If you
currently have wireless Internet access, the problem may be that you have
accidentally connected to a different wireless network.
To fix the problem on Windows computers, do the following: *
• On your Windows desktop right-click the wireless icon in the system tray.
• Click View Available Wireless Networks. A list of available networks will appear.
• Click your own network name. Click Connect. In the example below, the computer
was connected to another wireless network named JimsRouter. The name of the
Linksys E-Series network, BronzeEagle in this example, is shown selected.
• If you are prompted to enter a network key, type your password (Security Key) into
the Network key and Confirm network key fields. Click Connect.
• Your computer connects to the network, and you should now be able to access
the router.
* Depending on your version of Windows, there could be some differences in
wording or icons in these steps.
