AC1200 WiFi DSL Modem Router—Essentials Edition Model D6100

If you connected over WiFi to the network and you changed the SSID, you are disconnected from the network.

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:

If your computer or WiFi 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 modem router provides. Some WiFi devices automatically connect to the first open network without WiFi security that they discover.

If your computer or WiFi 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 WiFi device to match the current settings for your network.

Does your WiFi device display as an attached device? (See View Devices Currently on the Network on page 168.) If it does, it is connected to the network.

Are you using the correct network name (SSID) and password?

Configure WPA/WPA2 Enterprise WiFi Security

Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) is an enterprise-level method for centralized Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) management. To provide WPA/WPA2 enterprise WiFi security, the WiFi network that the modem router provides must be able to access a RADIUS server.

Tip: If you want to change the WiFi settings of the modem router’s main network, use a wired connection to avoid being disconnected when the new WiFi settings take effect.

To configure WPA/WPA2 enterprise security:

1.Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.

2.Type http://www.routerlogin.net. A login screen displays.

3.Enter the user name and password for the modem router.

The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive.

4.Click the OK button.

The BASIC Home screen displays.

5.Select Wireless.

The Wireless Settings screen displays.

Note: If you are configuring a guest network, select Guest Network instead. The Guest Network Settings screen displays.
