8. Make sure that you can reconnect over WiFi to the network with its new settings.
If you cannot connect over WiFi, check the following:
• Is your computer or mobile device already connected to another WiFi network
in your area? If so, 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.
• Is your computer or mobile device trying to connect to your network with its old
settings (before you changed the settings)? If so, 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? If it does,
it is connected to the network.
• Are you using the correct network name (SSID) and WiFi password?

Set up WEP legacy WiFi security

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security is a legacy authentication and data encryption
mode that is superseded by WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK. WEP limits the WiFi transmission
speed to 54 Mbps (the router is capable of higher speeds in the 2.4 GHz band).
Note: If your computer is connected with WiFi when you change the WiFi security
settings, you are disconnected when you click the Apply button. To avoid this problem,
use a computer with a wired connection to access the router.
To set up WEP security:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
