Problem Changing Wi-Fi Name & Password

Cormorant71 — Thu, 29 Jun 2023 15:23:42 GMT

I did this once before with no problems. This time, despite following the instructions I just get the message “password does not match Wi-Fi name”. I have tried three times to do this. The Wi-Fi name is changed without a hitch, but not the password ! Then I have to reset the router each time to access the internet to have another attempt 😩😩.
Can someone suggest a solution please, as I soon won’t have any hair left to tear out !!!

Hi @Cormorant71 your post has been escalated but have you checked for leading and trailing spaces? They creep in when cutting and pasting.

Hi Cormorant71

I'm sorry to hear this.

Would you like me to send a replacement router for testing?

Many thanks Debbie. I’m going to try again and see if that’s successful and if not I’ll get back in touch.

Kind regards.

Hi @Cormorant71

Which make/model of router do you have, if it is a Sagemcom, then this is always best done from the Advanced mode. It has to be done twice, once in the 2.4GHz band & once in the 5GHz band settings.

2.4GHz:-

Dashboard > See Wi-Fi Settings > Manage Advanced Settings > Wi-Fi 2.4Ghz gear icon > Basic

5Ghz:-

Dashboard > See Wi-Fi Settings > Manage Advanced Settings > Wi-Fi 5Ghz gear icon > Basic

Hi @Cormorant71 sorry, that's not unusual😀. (table ) and (table) look the same but the first has a trailing space. If you see what I mean. Don't worry the experts here will get you sorted.
